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)

  • Where I live, people have been very sensible and reasonable. 

    Social distancing is being practiced,  we have long drawn out queues outside supermarkets and the post office.  People tend to stay in small family groups in the parks and woodlands.

    However, people are not staying at home and most go out more often than once day, and spend hours sunbathing and relaxing in the parks.

    I live next to public footpaths which are part of the Dalesway link.  And the paths are very busy, full of dog walkers,  cyclists, ramblers, whole families, photographers and it's obvious people are not staying at home.  It's like a bank holiday weekend every day.  Lockdown?  The lockdown is employment and non essential shops.  People are outside most of the day.

    I agree, in our town there's more people out and about than ever before! On the road and in the street. Their even going to each others houses here and its not taken seriously at all. So in relation to our town they may as well send everyone back to work as people are mixing anyway. It will be more peaceful for those sheltering or recovering as its been so stressful
