Which implies we need lockdowns ongoing, as it's not going to be eliminated

no it doesn’t, but by all means continue pretending that is the case

What would we do without the conditional form of the verb.

3 weeks to flatten the curve, We will not introduce vaccine passports. Oven ready deal. No border in the Irish sea..a red line that we would never cross. Complete control over our borders. Our fishermen and farmers will be protected as part of negotiations. Protection for our financial services. Protect worker's rights. An Extra 350 million pounds per Week for the Nhs. We Guarantee to keep the triple lock on pensions. Ring of Steel around care homes. 40 billion pounds on a world beating track and trace app. All in this together. Complete transparency over government contracts. I was going to sack him anyway. The matter is closed. Let the bodies pile high. I will personally lay down in front of bulldozers before building a new runway, no tax rises and now injections for 12 year olds without the parent's consent.

And people wonder why I'm done with the place!

Plan B is even better.

a. "you've all partied too much so now stop being stupid and stay home... if you want, maybe, but you still have to go support cinemas, restaurants, pubs and clubs and the domestic tourist industry"

b. Flash a screenshot of someone else's QR code to get into nightclubs (which the bouncers won't even check anyway). All to convince the million or so over 60s that's left to go get jabbed. I'm sure that'll convince them.

c. Go back to wearing a facemask. And if your naughty and don't bother no one will challenge you.

I feel safer already from the mouth breathers.

Can see why the finance sector crashed in 2008 with the likes of Javid at the top of their finances careers.

d. Go and live in China

d. Go and live in China

China is the model that the government are wishing they could adopt. They've seen their social credit system and look upon it with awe.

They're laughing at us. They pose for pictures at G7 summits and then toddle of for a good old knees up when they forget the cameras are still rolling

Covid: Can England avoid 'lockdown lite' this winter?

The government is placing its trust in the vaccines to keep Covid at bay. Will it work?

Good read here.

Another lockdown seems likely. Cant see hospitals coping when we get to around 500 deaths a day (if we get there). Hopefully we don't (and if we do it's a short lockdown) but as we're on 200ish deaths now and we're yet to see the impact of school openings, colder weather, flu season etc I can see it getting to unmanageable levels.

And unmanageable means longer restrictions.

December and Christmas last year ruined 5 months of this year. Wonder if it'll do the same again

TBF using hospitalisations as a trigger almost guarantees lockdowns - by the time you get to an unacceptable number of people admitted (days/weeks after infection) you’ve already got the thing out of control.
