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 in Scotland, so no worries about Borris' speech as it doesn't apply to us :p

    Though I am a bit worried about work when it does ends At the moment we are almost all working from home, which I'm much more comfortable with - no noisy open plan office, no bright lights, no migraines, not much meaningless social chit chat needed, it's perfect. So dreading having to go back to office working. What's worse is that it is really confusing as whether we'll be allowed to work more from home in the future - doubly confusing as the pre-COVID set up is that we were officially allowed to work from home, but people tended not to work from ome more than one day a week, so not sure if there's an unofficial rule that we had to be in the office most days!

    Socially, not a much has changed since lockdown as didn't socialise much before hand. And the "bubble thing" won't make much difference to me as friends/family don't live nearby. So I have a justification to keep my  "bubble" as just me until the virus has passed, which suits me.
