Anyone nervous about lockdown restrictions ending?

Kit McDaydream

So Boris is gonna make a speech on Sunday about lifting some restrictions. Anyone nervous about what this will mean for expectations to return to daily struggle of 'fitting in' and going out.

I hope the 'bubble thing' happens but is more restrictive than 10 or clearly not more than 2 households (regardless of how many live in each household - my closest family members also live alone so technically that's only 3 of us)  so I can see close family without the expectations of having to meet up socially again with other 'acquaintances'?  (who want to see me more than I want to see them)

  • I’m not comfortable with the lifting restrictions at all. I like the quiet of lockdown. The only thing that I want back is the routine appointments (I was supposed to see the dentist and cardiologist in April). I miss my parents a bit but I won’t be seeing them soon anyway (they’re in different country and I usually see them 2-3 times a year - last time I saw them in August). As for social bubbles I’ve noticed that most of my neighbours are socialising and seeing each other regularly (basically every day) so they’ve already expanded their bubbles. I’m guessing if they will be allowed to expand bubbles further it’s going to be the same as allowing them to see anyone, anytime they want.
