Will lockdown be over by Easter

[User755]

Or not

Hang on a sec whilst I consult my crystal ball...

I think yes. Perhaps not all restrictions lifted, e.g. we will probably still have to wear masks in the shop. However I do believe that they will start lifting restrictions once the cases are low enough which, judging by the current reducing rates and the speed of vaccine roll out, will be by Easter.

However, this is just a guess and I dont as actually know (nor does anyone else)

I don't know hopefully to some extent, perhaps to visit family in gardens etc. I think their will still be restrictions to some extent but really we can't know yet so its best just to take things a day at a time.

No one knows. Far too many unknowns to even hazard a reasonable guess.

Just a guess, but I think schools will return after Easter, and then things will start to open up gradually after that - shops, gyms, beauty, cafes, pubs, in just about that order. I’m in Scotland and we have had no household visiting since September, so I imagine that (for us) will be the last thing to return since it was the first thing to go. I can see masks being in place for a while, and social distancing.

How are we supposed to know when the government don't have a clue?!

I think we will be back to tier 3 by Easter

Maybe but we will be reverting back to tier systems from there.

It seems more and more likely every week that there will still be significant restrictions at Easter sadly.

I swear most of these lockdown speculation posts are trolls.

I hope before, can't cope with another 3 months of this :(

Might be lifted slightly but I still think there's an awful long time before we are anywhere near to back to normality.

No one knows. Personally I think some restrictions will be lifted by then but not all.

Boris The Bollocks up won’t make any decisions till it’s too late.

No I’m really struggling with it. Have to work from home and I’m missing being in the office. I was sure we would at least be back in tiers but from something I’ve just read from Matt Hancock it doesn’t seem likely.

Well let's hope schools are open etc ,but who knows really 🤷

I don’t think it will ever be over.
Some new virus will come along and the gov will lock us down again.
Politicians still get paid, they don’t care. They’ll just print more money and put everyone on universal credit.

Of course it will be over ,yes the virus will mutate etc and we may get further lockdown ,but all pandemic,s end eventually and seriously why would any Government want to fuck up the economy for no good reason? The Government can only get paid if we have an economy!

Can see schools back and perhaps shops open and more meeting outside allowed but can’t see concerts, sport pubs etc being fully up and running. They seem to be pushing the goalposts back with every press conference.

I hope it will be back to tiers by then

I don't even know dates for Easter this year all days blend into one apart from the lengthening daylight and weather

From a selfish point of view I want salons and gyms open by March latest, can't cope with DIY haircuts again like last year !

Haven't a clue.

First phase groups should get their first vaccine say by the end of March, so second one end of June, plus a couple of weeks for full effectivness, so we're looking at July before the over 50s and CV are protected.
And better weather will improve things, but I think Easter is optimistic.

Tiers I reckon
