After the vaccine then what?

[CharlotteRose90]

I’m generally curious what do people think will happen? Like are we able to stop wearing masks and go back to work once we’ve had the vaccine or does everyone in the country have to have it first? I personally work for an airline so we’ve been told that everyone has to have the vaccine then we can go back.

Other threads have said that they need a certain percentage of people to have the vaccine. Right now, they are spinning things so that people are desperate to have the vaccine, thinking "anything to get out of this". They've been consulting their behaviour experts.

I'm certain that when it suits them, Saint Boris and his merry men are going to suddenly reverse the doom and gloom spin machine, with "loooooooooook, children! The vaccine is working!!!!!! Numbers are going down!! Go out and spend spend spend!", emphasising how many people are discharged from hospital (the silence on this right now is deafening, it's all about hospital admissions), and that they will do this whether the vaccine is having the right effect or not. I'm certain that they're going to employ a lot of deception, even when things start to go right. Perhaps they'll try to get a few people spending just before the end of the financial year.

I'm sure they're laying on the doom and gloom as thick as they can right now, so that they can scale it back when they need to, perhaps if people are too terrified to go out later, or to send children to school, because their scaremongering worked too well.

PARRRRRRRRTY!

That's what .

Hahaha I’ll be doing that aswell 🤣🤣🤣

After the vaccines, everyone will still have to social distance and wear masks etc is my bet.

And also there will be more vaccines, it will be a rolling programme. They’ve already said they don’t know if the existing vaccine will work against the new strain.

That’s my bet.

Teachers will find something else to shout about

Just kidding, of course.

I can’t see the government ever vaccinating everyone. I think they’ll get through the most vulnerable and those same ppl will receive and updated jab every year, like the flu. The rest of us will learn to live with it.

Yes it’ll be a percentage of the population and I think restrictions will ease as that percentage goes up. They most likely won’t do everyone, just ‘enough’ (whatever that might be!).

I think it’ll be similar to how lockdown eased last year - shop/restaurants/pubs opening, then rule of 6 outside, then rule of 6 inside etc, offices re-opening to set amounts of people per time. There will probably still be hesitation about large scale events like concerts etc.

At the moment their focus is getting hospital numbers done which is why they are focusing on the elderly and clinically vulnerable. In theory once you vaccinate those groups, admissions will drop because those groups are more protected and most younger/non vulnerable people who get the virus are not likely to need medical treatment. It’s not really about giving everyone the vaccine, but enough not to cause strain on the NHS.

*hospital numbers down

The thing is really this is exactly the sort of thing where really you want to protect the elderly/at risk but let children get it while they are at an age where its mild. They wont vaccine children under about 14.
