Level with me, when will England lift lockdown (date)?

[HappyBirthdayQueenieMarm]

I heard when death rates consistently fall, when there is a vaccine (18 months ?), June 2020.

Don't know what to believe.

The Government make is clear it will be when they can pass the 5 tests, however the spanner in that is one of them is based on Government competence/incompetence, that will of course be the downfall in anything

Do we have enough tests and personal protective equipment to meet demand?

Maybe easing of certain restrictions next month, but normal life won't be for a while. I'm supposed to be going to a concert next month and one in June and annoyingly neither have yet been cancelled when it's very clear they wont be going ahead!

It's childcare and schools I'm worried about. You can see how those could be re opened while still keeping wfh for those who can. It would be impossible to do the other way round I.e. workplaces open but not cc/schools. It also seems unlikely to open sch and workplaces at same time as that would be too much.

On mat leave and agonising over return date..
