Will you stick to the rules if lockdown in the UK is extended for another 12 months?

Yes or no?

The government can’t afford it for 12 months

No.

Partly because I can see no good reason to (so I guess if there was one I'd change my mind) and partly because I dont think my dad has more than a year left anyway so it would mean never seeing him again.

Nope. I’m already generally bending them,

No. Aside from everything else there wouldn’t be anything to go back to if we locked down that long.

If that's what it takes to stay alive, then yes. But I would bitterly resent it, if everyone else didn't then have to socially distance and I became a forgotten, second class citizen. This is what I fear will happen.

No. I work full time in a keyworker role, and I have three children at home with me. I will manage until September because I have to, but after that I will probably break, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do

No.

I’d be ok with the current situation with supermarkets and exercise, and with keeping 2m apart when out and about. I’d reluctantly work from home. I’d socialise with friends on Zoom, maybe seeing nearby friends in their gardens periodically.

I would 100% be seeing my partner, in all honesty.

12month lockdown won’t happen though. The economy would suffer and so would people’s health - the covid deaths would be replaced by other kinds. What’s the point.

No 100% not. I’d struggle with another 3 weeks after this!

I will not even contemplate abiding by this for 12 months. No! Just NO!!

No. That would be completely ludicrous.

No, and it's a moot point because it simply won't happen. People would take matters into their own hands and wouldn't comply and the economy would collapse. I certainly wouldn't be entertaining not seeing mum or the rest of my family or my friends for another 12 months. And the effect on people's mental health or on domestic violence would be unimaginable.

🤣 12 months?

Nope. I’m starting to struggle now tbh.

No chance!

I'd give it a dam good try to keep myself and others alive if that what it takes. Think I'd end up feeling very low and I don't think I'd be the only one.

Not a chance

Not a chance it's a ridiculous suggestion. I don't see the point the virus will still be there in 12 months, there will be no economy, the nhs would be on it's knees and suicide, DV and death from other illnesses (e.g cancer, illnesses that require hospital treatment etc ) would go way above the figures for that of Covid.

No way
Miss no friends and family too much. Zooming just isn’t the same.

Distancing in shops etc yes. Ds being off school yes.

Not seeing family and friends. Not a chance.

It’ll be interested if we are allowed back to work whilst social distancing but not allowed to see friends and family still.

Well some of us still are working in jobs where social distancing is not possible, so while we are expected to risk catching/infecting it at work from non family and friends, we are not allowed to spend time with the people we want to spend time with.

Why would we need 12 months when they had 7 weeks in China?

Social distancing will be a given anyway. Not seeing my mum in her last year's of life, not so much.

The question wasn't would it happen, it was what would you do if they did extend it.

I don't think it will happen, but I could stick to it, so I would (I wfh anyway).

Not a chance in hell. I can't see me lasting much full stop.

It would have to be for a serious reason like the potential serious illness in children becoming a real and widespread thing or a mutation with a much higher death rate.

I don't like this government but I don't believe they would suspend the economy for 12 months without exceptional reason so I will comply. We will probably combine households with a friend with similar age children if it goes on much longer.
