Anyone else worried that four weeks will become 6 then 8 and so on?

Just as above really. I know there is nothing I ca do about it, but I have this sense of impending doom that it’s going to go on for months and months again!

@pontypridd I complete agree with you. I’m gutted for my children. Their dance lessons will be cancelled which is small fry really but they love them. I’m not sure that the school will survive this next lockdown. Which is gutting.
My children haven’t seen their grandparents or uncles for 7 months, and I miss my family and doing stuff.

TBH I am so sad about my children who are 20 to 27 ....their future is so bloody bleak and they have all worked so hard to get where they are now....gutted 😢

How come your children haven’t seen their grandparents for 7 months? That’s really sad.
I thought we could meet outdoors in groups of 6 if we socially distanced. And those that are shielding i spoke to them over their hedge.

Personally my DCs have blossomed over the lockdown. Apart from missing the normal clubs but we used YouTube to learn new things instead but I understand that not all kids are the same.

@Flutter12 an abundance of caution on their part plus a small dc who isn’t really able to socially distance.

In Melbourne we did a brutally hard lockdown, everything shut , which was initially for 6 weeks. It got extended to over 4 months. It worked but it took that long.

I think this 4 weeks will show no decrease in stats

Dec 2 arrives and tighter lockdown. With 2 weeks to go til schools close for Christmas he will close them for whole December

Christmas..... not many will comply with lockdown and will mix for the festive season

New year arrives with a surge of cases from the Xmas mixing of households leaving us back to square one.

Will schools then open again in January? If so we won’t ever get out of this mess

Just my thoughts on this

I just said this exact thing on another thread!

I'm not sure why you would think 4 weeks will do anything. It's definitely going to be extended but hopefully not for as long as ours was.

I suppose I am more resigned to it than furious about it. I'm sad that clubs we all enjoy will end. However I'm still expected in work and will have to suck it up. Don't think you are the only one feeling the fury. I'm wondering if your reaction more normal than mine!

Anyone with a brain cell knows that whatever they say they mean "at least". Of course if has to be.

My husband is an analytical chemist and he was saying that it looks like antibodies don't seem to hang around long in people who've had it so this could actually mean vaccines won't be very effective. He actually seemed worried about it as this would obviously have a huge impact to people he said it could lower the worlds life expectancy age. He works for a big pharma company where they make vaccines on site.
