Do you think lockdown will end next week?

[spinthebottle]

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

Lol no

No, no signs of that being a possibility

No chance.

No

Not a chance

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

Ummmmm....

......no.

I wish! But no

No

not a chance imo

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

Noop

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.

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

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.

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

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

Nopity nope. Not a hope.

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

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

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.

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...

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.

Not a chance!

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