New to this thread.
Just my two cents here, but I've noticed a few posters saying that effective lockdowns must be in place for the remainder of 2021 regardless of the vaccine deployment.
Can I ask, what basis would continued restrictions be based on?
Fact of the matter is, if we can't get out of this with vaccines with super high efficacy rates (especially preventing serious illness), then we may aswell give up?
Roadmap should be straightforward here, vaccinate anyone over 40 as soon as possible (Nullifying the dominant Kent strain), then provide boosters in Sept/Oct again for the same cohort. JVT already said that as the SA variant has no transmission advantage over Kent variant it is on the back foot and unlikely to become the dominant strain.
In the meantime, slowly lift lockdowns, till normality in May/June?
Why would the government continue locking down if the NHS was under no stress?
Quite frankly the public would not stand for it, and as furlough ends we would risk civil unrest, which would at that stage be entirely justified.

My concern is most with the old and vulnerable. Allowing them a chance to live as normal a life as possible means that everyone else curb any excesses and take a vaccine.

Nothing else. Just keep it up.
And when infection rates are down much further there is the prospect of more activity in the open air: family garden visits; playing golf; trips outside your area for country or coastal walks / stay at home breaks; retail shopping with face masks; outdoor catering for food and drink.
That has to be better than being dead or infecting others and killing them.
Christ, what a depressing thread.

Eventually we will.
I'm just as frustrated. We need discipline to get through this though. Normality isn't coming this calendar year, for sure. If it does we'll almost certainly be into another catastrophe next winter. It's simply not worth it. But then again, we have a government that's been willing to kill over 114,000 people so far, so we'll probably see restrictions lifted, but dont think the consequences wont be dire. They will be.

I know mate, you'd think it'd be a laugh wouldn't you? It's not like the thread is about a virus that's killed well over 2 million people.

It has to be used to do that. Build back better and safer.
Why would be into another catastrophe when all of the vulnerable people have been vaccinated and are no longer dying?
Nothing will ever be fully normal again, this garbage virus has put paid to that. But I guarantee you that in a couple of months time, I'll be sat in a pub enjoying a nice meal with my girlfriend (who has been working on the frontline throughout this whole thing), planning holidays, giving my brother a hug, buying concert tickets, going to the cinema and generally just remembering what it's like to live again.
You may desire a world where community isn't important - but that isn't my world.

Odd to see a socialist use language associated with the global elite and capitalists.
His stuff is straight out of the thatcher playbook.
Yeah, my aunt got that when she went with my nan so I think my mum's gonna go with my dad anyway. But tbf neither of them have major underlying conditions so it's only fair for people who need it asap to get it first

I dont desire it. And you might well get your wish go to a pub/pictures/abroad. But the consequences of a repeat performance of last year will be a catastrophic loss of life next winter. The vaccines wont do the heavy lifting on this. Already that's a message being underlined day in and day out on the news and from those who've been talking it up as such for the last 6 months. Only the long promised "world leading" track and trace system plus changes to the way we socialise will bring safety to the old and vulnerable - and to many others too.
