Do you think lockdown will end next week?

[spinthebottle]

just musing really, my DP is adamant it will end next week

[Parkandride]

Lol no

[Chemenger]

No, no signs of that being a possibility

[BoswellsBollocks]

No chance.

[OurChristmasMiracle]

No

[Hedgehogblues]

Not a chance

[FaithInfinity]

No chance. We’re likely to peak in many areas in the next two weeks (certainly that’s being predicted in my area).

[Muchtoomuchtodo]

Ummmmm....


......no.

[cookielove]

I wish! But no

[Mumof2202022]

No

[LuckyLuckyWoman]

not a chance imo

[JollyHostess]

At least another 3 weeks after this first 3 week period.

[SomeoneElseEntirelyNow]

Noop

[NeverGuessWho]

No.
Why does he think that?
What are your thoughts, OP?
Which restrictions does he think will be lifted?
If they end lock down next week, there will be a huge increase in new infections, just as we’re reaching the peak of Corona patients being admitted to hospital, IMHO.

[woollylizard]

Is he on glue?! No. No. No.

[pigsDOfly]

Absolutely not.

It's being reviewed after a 3 week period, not ended.

The virus hasn't peaked here yet so it's more likely the restrictions will be increased if deaths keep rising rather than ended.

[LuckyLuckyWoman]

following on from this, when do you think the government will announce the extension?

[ThanosSavedMe]

Well if the powers that be decide to go back to the original plan of thousands dying then yes but I think they decided that wasn’t a good plan. So no

[WaktiWapnasi]

Nopity nope. Not a hope.

[Moo7878]

I personally think we have another 8 weeks of this at least and I don't think schools will be back until at least the autumn term

[spinthebottle]

@LuckyLuckyWoman I’m not sure! Possibly Sunday? I’m sure my DP is the only person that thinks it will end next week!

[LeggyLinda]

Yes. In practical terms anyway.
Officially, it will probably get extended. But so many people have interpreted the lockdown as a 3 week period that it will become even more difficult to enforce.

[MrsJakeLovell]

Absolutely not - just spoke with someone who has had to clear our their place of work as it is being changed to a field hospital and they were told they would be out for at least 6 months...

[Chrisinthemorning]

No. Peak starts next week and will last 6-8 weeks. Lockdown will end when we start going down the other side of the curve.

[CoronaIsComing]

Not a chance!

[hopeishere]

Not a chance. In fact if there's loads of people out this weekend I think it will get worse.
