The end really is in sight

This is the first time I have actually believed it

@Dongdingdong

Just gently reminding everyone not to get too excited- cases are rising slowly around Europe again.

Not surprising considering the EU messed up the vaccine rollout big time.

Here meanwhile, it’s back to normal life in a few short months, wahey!!!!!!

...then along comes autumn and winter 2021/22 and then what? Hopefully not another set of lockdowns but never say never....

Today has been very moving. Even if it doesn't all go exactly to plan - and there is a lot of leeway in the plans - it was amazing to hear the PM say it (lockdown) could all be over by June 21st. Absolutely amazing

And yes, I am an optimist. I like being this way. Leave me be with your dreary doom-mongering

@justanotherneighinparadise

I think many of us won’t believe it until it happens.

My thoughts too. I don't feel any less gloomy at the moment , i have no faith at all in this government .

Nor me

NEVER!

i have no faith at all in this government

Nor do I. I have great faith in the scientists who developed the vaccine though. And in the NHS which is rolling it out so quickly.

I'm wary of SAGE though and Whitty as well

Just in time for my 40th Birthday on the 22nd!

Party is is

I’m so hopeful but I just don’t trust this government.
I don’t trust them with their lockdown plan, I don’t trust that they’ve paid full attention to the science.
And I don’t trust them to rebuild our country, our public services after this. Not one fucking jot.

Things will get to normal one day despite Boris, not because of.

@Dustyboots

I can't get my hopes up. Not sure which thread you mean *@endlesswicker*

How can people let themselves be played like this. Are you all so mindless and forgetful? It's worrying how many people hang on every fictitious piece of latest 'news' our PM brings?

It will all change by next week.

Can't do a link from my device for some reason, but the thread is called: "Indoor mixing by 17th of May? Did I hear that right?"

A lot of the dates in the plan are all based on the numbers and could possibly be just another carrot dangling

I expect many of us have thought of this; however my own hope lies in them being perfectly well aware we can't have indefinite lockdowns because of the cost

Therefore, if certain figures are required to back this, then those are the figures which will be produced

Met up with my entire family today all in their eighties and all had covid.
Had their jabs:) and they’re fed up!

I'm confused.

Do all these openings still include social distancing?
So can a theatre open up with full seating capacity in June?

No still SD so it's all within new capacity. There's 4 reviews and one of those will be re masks bad SD so it might change

If I change my name to BorisLoveChildMama next Easter, you'll know why

"God, need to lose the tum though, get out of the joggers and stop being alcoholic"

Same. Starting right now!

Fight

Thank God!

I asked King Kenny and he said:

"Mibbes aye. Mibbes naw".

shit.
Most theatres need around 70% to open. I think.
I need DH to go back to work. Not just for the money either!

Surely it's obvious that the plans will depend entirely on numbers of deaths, hospitalisations, etc. How could it be anything else?

Pass me the puke bucket...

I mean the man doesn't even brush his hair for...well anything! Anyone who willingly wants that in their children's genes needs a big hug (followed swiftly by a slap!)..no offence Carrie if you're reading this!

OK sense has prevailed. Plus I already have two children and DO NOT want a third, even with my lovely dh. Never mind the unlovely Boris.
That said, this summer I will be sociable anf merry. Who knows what could happen.

I’m in wales but I can’t imagine there being much difference in dates and I sobbed for a good 5 minutes earlier. Didn’t realise I wanted it so much

We'd pay double for theatre tickets if they have to stay at half capacity.

Went to see something in the west end at Christmas and my daughter and I were very emotional being back in an audience. There was quite an applause. Fingers crossed all the theatres get opened according to plan.
