To shut down for at least 6 months ? This can't be true I am utterly disgusted at the way people are being treated .... the fall out from this will be worse ! Even a WHO scientist had said lockdowns don't work

They said could last six months, to be reviewed monthly.

You can't do this to people for 6 months surely

Where has it said 6 months please

BBC news says 6 months, surely not.

How long have Leicester been shut down for now ?

I just read twitter seen 4 people say if you do this I won't be here by jan they are anxious and depressed

So many things have happened this year I wouldn't rule anything out.
But oh my goodness, 6 months feels like it might as well be forever, we will have forgotten what normal is if it ever comes back.

I’m clinging to the hope that this is just hyperbole and it won’t be that long.

Totally understandable. The gov need to be aware of this. People will die that would have survived covid.

No-one will comply for 6 months

The fact that rishi has planned a "local furlough" and agreed an amount that's businesses forced to shut will receive, makes me believe it's not going to be a 2 week shut down 😞.

We will have nothing to come back to if we carry on like this.
I can’t believe people will comply for 6 months.

Of course it's not going to be 2 weeks. We have to wait to go over the spike and be heading down the other side. Dec I reckon.

What will this lockdown entail?

They're expecting restrictions for the best part of 6 months because the virus will be virulent over winter. If they shut the city's pubs and restaurants for 6 months then the city will be screwed.

What will this lockdown entail?

It's not a full lockdown as the schools are still open and shops. Unclear so far over whether gyms and restaurants will close or not (conflicting reports) but the pubs will shut. No household mixing. Restrictions on travel.

We will have nothing to come back to if we carry on like this.

Absolutely. I'm dreading tomorrow, can see me spending a good part of my day working out redundancy payments for various businesses.

Leicester never came out of lockdown so they are on month SEVEN now with no households mixing yet nobody noticed or said how unfair it was. It is an absolutely shit situation for all

@Juanmorebeer Fair point.

Has the Leicester hospitality remained closed all this time? How on earth are these businesses meant to survive?

Hospitality isn't shut in Leicester afaik

Supposed to be going on Friday for an organ recital at the Anglican cathedral on Saturday. Will be gutted if it's cancelled!

Hospitality is open now but it didn't open until August 3rd. It was fully closed until then and gyms only opened in Sept

Hospitality didn't open anywhere until July 4th to be fair. I agree though Leicester have been overlooked in terms of restrictions they've had.

Definitely. Even though they opened the venues households have not been allowed to mix at all throughout. My niece works in a restaurant and they are apparently meant to try and restrict it with bookings but nobody takes any notice
