The Crocus Of Hope

June or not June?

I reckon things won't be near-normal (I don't think things will ever be like they were pre-COVID) until March 2022.

What do you think?

 

[bernardgreen]

I agree, March 2022 at the earliest before life returns to something like it was before Covid

April 2022

Yep think I agree... but things will get better with a dip come winter

Trouble is it's good news that the UK vaccination programme is cracking on at pace, and better news that take up rates are generally high.

What's not so good news is that is not necessarily the case in other countries. I can't see a return to total normality until global rates have subsided to a low background rate.

The clue was hidden in plain sight in Bozza's announcement yesterday. (I generally think he's a 2@, but credit due of late.) He acknowledged that we are never going to protect everyone; and implicit in that (IMO) was that we are opening up and not closing again. Now if other leaders get to that view, the world will HAVE to open up as this year drags on. I believe the re WILL be vax passports; and 'red' countries will still have bans until they are demonstrating falling infection dates and increasing vaxxing. I am seeing a 63/35 chance of skiing in Europe* next January.

*prob with social distancing, masks, outdoor eating?

No back to normal for me. Ever.

I don't plan on being huddled together in a small meeting room or portacabin, standing shoulder to shoulder on a train, or rammed in to a packed sweaty club or pub ever again.

Seems funny when I see old TV prior covid how close people get...

You may be right. Will a least take time to get vavk to old ways

I have been avoiding that bollux for years now.

I gave up London a couple of years back... Did not use public transport thst often but hated everything about London.

My days have gone in wanting to huddle in a crowded pub.

Love to take my girls to see Chelsea but not sure I'd ever feel comfortable with all that huddling up ever again.

Sweaty clubs and pubs in portacabins will be relieved!

More seriously, never planning to go to the continent by air again- drove for the first time in 35 years last year- much more relaxing.

After the Spanish flu, came The Roaring Twenties.

Luckily for Nosey.

Do you reckon that the "Roaring Twenties" was a reaction to the Spanish flu so then could we see something similar happen this year
