Christ, there will be folk throwing themselves off buildings by then

As far as I understand it that doesnt mean all furloughed workers will be off work until June but will be covered if they are , they did say it might be extended again yet as well.

We have to accept the fact that some restrictionists may well be necessary, for 18 months. That's the time a vaccine is expected. Just because we have fools who still cling to the herd immunity fantasy, at the top of gov. shouldn't fool anyone into thinking this will be a short period of restriction.

I want it over as much as anybody. Christ I have a 24/7 job dealing with a complex child with medical problems, who can't even leave our house. Because of this lock down. But we have to be realistic. We don't seem to develop anything but resistance, even after recovering from infection. Until we can change that, we are looking at many of the restrictions, to our lives, continuing.
