What day do you think we are likely to go into lockdown if another one is introduced?

We have our wedding day on the 27th but I can't say it's looking too promising. Anybody know when they are planning on making an announcement?

@ninadust- lots of discussion about this tonight. No definite info at this stage about when we’ll here from the government next, but some guessing it maybe tomorow?
I really hope you get to go ahead with your wedding, I can imagine all the uncertainty is overshadowing the excitement at the mo 😞

Treez21 · 18/12/2021 21:01

Am I going to be the only one in complete shock if this does actually happen??

Fishlipandtoeface · 18/12/2021 21:03

Depends. Do you like having a police force and ambulances etc?

Forgetaboutme · 18/12/2021 21:04

I'll be shocked too. Surely not? Compliance would be so poor I think.

IHateCoronavirus · 18/12/2021 21:04

Good luck op 🤞

Lockdown "more stringent measures" will take effect from the 28th because the 27th is a Bank Holiday

Is that a guess or has there been an announcement?

The 28th is also a Bank Holiday Hmm
DaisyNGO · 18/12/2021 21:08

Well I can only speculate

Many trains won't run on Boxing Day so perhaps they'll keep till 8pm on 27th to announce it? There will be MPs needing to get home after being elsewhere for xmas.

I really really hope you get the day Flowers

madroid · 18/12/2021 21:09

I think it needs to be from the 20th latest and should have been last week

BUT I think it will be announced on Boxing Day for the 28th. It will be too late - there will be 1 million cases and circa 60,000 needing medical attention by then. Poor poor HCAs :(

MintJulia · 18/12/2021 21:10

Good luck OP.

It may be just you two and the registrar, but it'll be great. Wine

Lorriestakingppe · 18/12/2021 21:10

Eh? Lockdown, says who and where?!

You've got that from the figures?

Interesting extrapolation.

the80sweregreat · 18/12/2021 21:12

Holland are in lockdown.
It is coming , people ,but when?
Our booster programme might be a winner though ? Can but hope

x2boys · 18/12/2021 21:12

Nobody knows yet ,I'm hoping not but.its clear cases. are going up, how this will affect hospital admission,s and deaths isn't clear
Good luck op hope everything goes ok 🤞

Workyticket · 18/12/2021 21:12

Good luck op, we postponed ours last summer.and got married this summer 2 days before restrictions lifted.

It's so stressful not k owing and having people drop out.

Have your venue discussed postponing with you? I'd be tempted to consider it so you can take control.

paranoidnamechanger · 18/12/2021 21:13

It’s going to be a circuit breaker, not a lockdown. We can’t afford another lockdown.

It’s from either the 27th or 28th.

the80sweregreat · 18/12/2021 21:13

It might not happen?
It feels pretty bleak , but can there enforce it?
Will people comply ?
It is so grim !!

Foolsrule · 18/12/2021 21:13

You’d be a fool to think it wasn’t coming soon. I really hope your wedding can go ahead but personally think lockdown should start tonight.

the80sweregreat · 18/12/2021 21:15

It's been brewing for weeks hasnt it?
Very cleverly orchestrated and people are already locking down on their own
It is on the cards now I feel , but just hope it's quick and doesn't drag on too long

GarlandsinGreece · 18/12/2021 21:15

The 27th and the 30th are being floated as possible dates.

AnyFucker · 18/12/2021 21:15

God, you poor thing

Lockdown is not a definite and probably not a full one if it happens. Hopefully your wedding will go ahead but maybe with restricted numbers

Lorriestakingppe · 18/12/2021 21:16

Tonight? How does that work exactly?

AnyFucker · 18/12/2021 21:17

Even on this thread, it appears people are ready for lockdown

Why ???????

Kitkatchunkyplease · 18/12/2021 21:17

@Foolsrule

Why?
