PM to give 8pm address tonight (Sunday), no new restrictions expected

[bagofconkers]

"As pressure from virus rises, PM will give national address at 8pm tonight, updating the booster programme - sounds like this will NOT include new restrictions"

@RedToothBrush
Thanks for the drinking game!

I'm actually having a bit of a cry now .. it's just the dread of all the shit returning after a few months of ( almost ) being a bit more ' normal '
I know people won't comply with any bubbles or tiers or not seeing anyone at Christmas etc etc
Jan will be awful 😞

Oh fuck off Borris. I've had just about enough of covid now. 😑

He might be resigning??
.,just a thought

Level 4: a COVID-19 epidemic is in general circulation; transmission is high and pressure on healthcare services is widespread and substantial or rising

Oh shit. Level 5 incoming.....

Hopefully he’ll surprise us all and it’ll be his resignation

What Motorina said!

Someone on lbc this morning said about a briefing but the presenter didn't know anything then ., this is quick !
His family time didn't last long

A resignation and no more level alerts..,

Maybe he’s going to resign live on air. I’d certainly have a drink for that.

Sadly I agree. And level 5 must = lockdown according to the definition (severe social distancing)

Q1
*"how many children do I have now" ?

"No, sorry that's not part of the quiz but if anyone does know the answer could they let me know because I've lost track."

Oh God please no lockdown.

Gosh there are some dramatic people on here.

That was my first thought.

8 on a Sunday evening isn't the time for a 'get your booster' type broadcast. It's either that or major new restrictions, but we're told it's nto that so?

@littlepeas

8pm gives me the heebie jeebies.

The 8pm Sunday Slot is generally the 'its really fucking serious and shit folks' slot, I'll give you that.

Surely no one would actually comply with a lock down now so what would be the point of implementing it? I’m guessing just a few waffle words on cutting social contacts if you can, working from home and booster program.

Dramatic people ?
I think we are just pondering what our PM might say and the fact we are now in level four !
I don't feel that is dramatic
My tears about how hopeless it feels to be honest !

Ffs. Just had enough.

The important question is, is this before or after Strictly results?

It will likely be get your booster or we will face restrictions or restrictions until a certain amount are boostered.

Or resigning.

Please calm down guys. We need to get through this what ever the outcome.

Quitting

Will anyone not see people this Christmas?
Honestly ?
They are now trying to push water uphill with any draconian restrictions I'm afraid

Maybe more restrictions, particularly around travel and large gatherings. I think given the new variant they're needed.
