Covid is ending in March

[cantare]

I will put my neck on line and say that covid will be over by 27th of March 2022.

I'd take that bet.

I think no way is it over completely by March.

Hope so seeing as my covid passport runs out the week before!

Why will it be over?

it will never be over as it is a controlling mechanism - our rights, civil liberties and freedoms can be snatched away using covid laws and to "protect the NHS" ad infinitum

I hope you're tight 🤞🏼

@Mogloveseggs the expiry means you've just got to go back on the app

Can I borrow your crystal ball please.

How is that going to happen? Is earth going to be destroyed.

Whilst I agree that this is the end game, that’s a weirdly specific date. Why the 27th exactly?

Well the original covid legislation expires then..but apparently Scotland has already extended ours to Sept.. sigh

well pandemics usually run their course in 2 years so yeah

it will still be a new disease that exists in the world etc and that we have to manage to live with - but the crisis (the disease itself, not the social political and economic fallout) will likely be through.

Don't be ridiculous!

That's the Best Before date on my Spam.

No doubt this date because it's been reported that all restrictions will end on March 28th. So clearly covid will end on the 27th.

I’m going today the 16th March.

You mean most of the drama will be over?

Or do you think the overlords are recalling it to the lab?

Covid won't ever be ever, it'll just become accepted, like Flu, common cold, anal leakage etc.

Hope you've got something else lined up to froth over when it does end...

I broadly agree, but I'd actually say by next winter. I think we'll go into next winter knowing that Covid is around, people will get it, no one will isolate or test anymore unless they have vulnerable family members. Oh, and we'll need annual boosters.

We've got this one last winter to get through, imo.

It’s endemic. It will never be gone, we will just learn to manage it. Like flu, colds, chickenpox etc.

Loving the idea of the covid germs all heeding the call and scuttling back to their 'overlords' luredbyapomegranate.

I agree in the context that by late Spring people with Covid will no longer have to isolate IF they have been triple jabbed. Restrictions will apply to the unvaccinated only. This way we will achieve herd immunity, which is what the govt have been gunning for all along.

Eeeh, Feck, is that when the asteroid hits?

Yeah the said it would take two years.

Is that globally or just in the UK? I’ve got holiday booked for April so it would be super convenient if it would be over everywhere by then.
