Next week's announcement won't be the good news we think it'll be

Listening to the news and reading between the lines regarding the latest variant that's supposed to be resistant to the vaccine, I don't think it's going to be brilliant news next week.
I dont think it'll be a case of, We've got this. You can all go out now.
Im hoping theyll say for certain that schools can go back. At least.
I think we are still in the shit. They just haven't told us.
I'm prepared to be told I'm worrying over nothing.

I can never figure out why people here say it's "selfish" to express an opinion. It's selfish to actually do something that might negatively affect someone else, but writing something on a forum has no effect on anyone in terms of the virus, it's just words. It's not like Boris is scanning mumsnet and acting on the "selfish" advice of random posters

I think you might be reading into this a bit too deeply here lol
Its a selfish opinion. My opinion is that its deeply selfish. That doesnt mean I think Boris is reading mumsnet for goodness sake!

That poster also expressed that she was breaking lockdown rules to see her family so actually, her ACTIONS are also selfish.

Agree OP. Only a few yeargroups will go back and still a lot of restrictions. We must not build expectations
