To expect to be back in lockdown in November

[Ohmydaisy]

Hi.... my daughter is getting married in November, I've told her to expect the 'no more than 30 ' restrictions to be in place. But I'm secretly hoping all will be normal again. So my question is aibu to advise to only plan for 30 ?(inbu) Or am I being over cautious?.... in which case I am being unreasonable . What do you all really think will be like come November? I'm also thinking it's flu season then and they my tighten restrictions to protect the hospitals from being overwhelmed. Xxx

Boris wedding is all about Carrie at the G7 summit and wanting to be married

(Of course, if it turns out the vaccines aren't effective, say to a new variant, then that may not be possible and we may end up with restrictions again until a new/updated vaccine or booster, but let's hope that doesn't happen)

Good idea and why it won't happen, the Government has said we will never go back, which means they have to be super cautious.

They have painted themselves into a corner.

Oh, they can just change their mind if it suits them, like Xmas and the schools going back in Jan etc etc.

They will say "needs must¨ and enough people will fear living in an Armageddon without a functioning health service to go along with it.

I don´t believe anything they say. This is one instance when adding @literally @ to the end of that last sentence might be justified.

Fair play, they have a difficult task to manage.

It wasn't looking good for easing restrictions. We aren't out of the woods yet.

It's not predicting the future its science if you have heard of that. Ive seen everything first hand, all you've seen is the news and facebook no doubt. Carry on living in your little bubble & good luck with that. Roll on autumn.[/quote]
Actually I am also an NHS worker and although I am aware they are quite rightly preparing for the worst, expecting is quite a different thing. Scientists or NHS workers cannot predict what will happen, sensible preparing is the most we can do right now.

Acting like you have insider info to scaremonger and act high and mighty on a thread like this is wrong.

The modelling is just predictions though - scientists can only use the current data to see what might happen. They dont know anything for certain at all.

Hope for the best prepare for the worst is what should be happening

With or from. We don't actually know.

Well that’s what I’ve been saying all along.... but people will die with a positive covid test.... as they would do in winter for lots of virus.
