LIFE AFTER LOCKDOWN - WHEN WILL WE BE FREE AGAIN?

Covid-19 is a coronavirus, the flu is also a coronavirus, but I wouldn't call covid-19 "the flu".

To be practical rather than purist, as I understand things, everyone who wants to be vaccinated will be by September. So this seems to be a a date everyone can ink into their calendars.

Thereafter, and maybe before, people who've had two jabs don't need to wear a mask, nor keep social distancing, nor practise frequent hand washing.

They don't need to get checked before or after travel provided destinations are up to speed on these reg.s, nor quarantine or self-isolate.

Unless they have signs of infection, because though they'll likely be fine, they should think about refuseniks and people with weakened immune systems.

It also seems apparent that kids under six can take care of themselves without a vaccination.

Of course, Public Health will be on the lookout for variants that could undo all this, so cannot promise no further lockdowns, although annual boosters should deal with variants too.

This is life when everyone's vaccinated and covid-19 passes into the background of viruses that are endemic.This is from the Autumn. The tussle between health and economy will continue till then I guess.
