Do you think lockdown will end next week?

[spinthebottle]

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

No almost certainly not and I'm not one of the we're all doomed types who seem to hang around here.

Nope. Maybe by end of May if infection and death rates decrease. And only partially.

No chance. Much more likely that further restrictions will come.

No, if we follow China’s time line then we are looking at the end of May at the earliest or the start of June.

Nah, by then China's rising infection rate after lockdown lifted will have been noticed. Lockdown isn't going to make this all go away.

Not a chance, sadly.
It won't be for at least 3-4 weeks after the peak, whenever that may be.

i think at least 6 more weeks and possibly even stricter and longer

Is your do Donald Trump?

Dream on.

Ffs no

End of May, based on other countries and the guy from Imperial college.

No. I think it will be 9/10 weeks and then they’ll have to decide what restrictions they lift first.

There’s talk of people being allowed out with “immunity certificates”, but I don’t see how that would work in practice. If people saw other people out they would want to go out as well. I wonder though if business will be allowed to reopen/allow people back in offices with these certificates.

Hahahahaha.....no

My best guess would be some point in May.

No

This may roll on well in to the summer OP, we may get a slight release and then I’m sure locked down again for the autumn when the second wave is thought to come.

A vaccine would be a godsend.

For some reason @spinthebottle your title post gives me the rage.

In spite of all the Government announcements and headline news about the global pandemic people ask the most stupid of questions. I question if some people realise the seriousness of it all.

You are not stuck indoors, you’re keeping safe, saving lives and assisting in the management of Covid-19.

Nah, no and nope

One floor of our office has been reorganised to allow the key workers on the other floor to social distance, we have been told this will be for many months and then another 6 weeks to put it back to how it was before we can go back to work in the office again. So from that I would say it is going to be months and not weeks.

Nope, we haven’t hit peak yet, whilst London is ahead of everywhere it’s not at peak. It’s will be a further three weeks, then review again

What is lockdown, like I don’t understand.

@TheRealHousewife I’m sorry that it gives you the rage but I didn’t ask only this forum the question when we had this discussion (I believe lockdown will be extended). But the resounding answer from a lot of people (not this thread) is lockdown is they think that it’s due to end after the 3 weeks is up. Unfortunately, I worry what that will mean when it is undoubtedly extended but I think a lot of people think it’s going to end after these 3 weeks. Sadly.

No

NHS friend told me the lock down will be 12 week - less if the gov can get the antibody tests sorted which based on our gov is not likely.
