I’m sorry but I can’t see how we can possibly go from where we are now to normal/near normal by April next year. I’d absolutely love to be wrong on this, but I think we’ll be living with restrictions for most of 2021. I said it previously, but for many I think 2021 will be worse than 2020 as we reap what we’ve sown. I’m sorry to sound so negative, but I’m bracing myself for a very difficult and unpleasant year ahead....
Well we'll have to see. But if all this nonsense continues way way into 2021, then the unemployment numbers are going to be absolutely sky high, and many thousands of businesses would have closed down as a result of all these lockdowns and "social distancing guidelines". And with all these seemingly never-ending restrictions dragging on and on and the effect it's having on millions of people's livelihoods and mental health, I think a fair old number would have committed suicide by then, unable to take all this any longer.
The 31st March is when the law on these restrictions expires. At the rate this is going, I think it won't be until that date that all this ends. So I'm expecting the first 3 months of 2021 to be a complete and utter write-off, just like 9 months of this year has been. But come 31st March, It will be absolute madness if all this is extended beyond then. We just can not continue like this for beyond 12 months and with still no end in sight. It's gone on long enough as it is already. It is completely ruining the country and it's people.
Even though I'm certainly no fan of them, what with all their doom and gloom babblings. In Saturday's press briefing with Boris - even Whitty and Valance at the end were actually surprisingly positive about what the situation will be like by the spring, saying that the Coronavirus situation and medical treatment of it should be much much better by then.
