Coronavirus

apparently takes around four years to come through the other side of a pandemic, so really 'normality' or whatever that version may be won't really be here until 2024

It's what you make of it. Until the Rennes game go called off, my normality had been completely back since the early summer. Ignore the tabloids and just got on with it, life is much better then.

No i mean, life back to pre Dec 2019 experiences. Testing, isolation, things like that which are 'normal' now but were not before Dec2019.

I think that's all passed me by too to be honest. If you've gone into work throughout the lockdowns and don't have kids, I'm not sure those things really come into your orbit.
 
Only if you listen to the people stoking the fear. Or just do your own personal risk assessment and find a solution that balances the mental vs physical threats.

I think there is a level of huge doom mongering because most modelling also works on worse case scenarios twinned with what people now largely class as normal. Normal for me was the ability to wake up on a Saturday morning and decide that I was gonna jump on a plane from Gatwick to Rome for the night, enjoy the wine and food and head back (extreme but have done it a few times) but now the norm seems to be the fact we can go to the pub after jumping through hoops. Whilst respecting the situation which I do I also would give anything to go back to how things were
 
Scotland - fears of a tsunami.
England - facing a tidal wave.
NI - expecting a storm.
Wales - Mark Drayford digs out his thesaurus.

Its a galloping tsunami now.

Sturgeon last week, "it could inevitably become"
Could and inevitably do not belong in the same sentence. Something is inevitable or it isn't.
Swinney yesterday, 4002 new cases, 18% of which are omicron. Theres 109 omicron cases.
Ffs!

4,713 confirmed cases of Omicron in the UK, but estimates that the current rate of daily infections are around 200,000.

So more than 98% of infections are asymptomatic then?!
 
It's so fricken obvious isn't it, and then the lockdown will last until March again with 3 months of home schooling
I don't think it will.
It's the totalitarian tool (much like most of the Tories) - "get the jab or everyone suffers".
This is the opportunity now - noone wants lockdown in practice not just in theory. So will be an effort to force the hand, with the vaccine passport the truncheon.
Prepare for social unrest in Feb - the Tories do like a good distraction.

I think ultimately thats what will happen for the reason that many people did what was asked and even those are being tarnished with the "not enough" brush. I think doing this so close to Christmas gives Boris traction he needs but had this been middle of the year with the scandals, with people following the science but being no closer out I think he would find it harder to persuade the masses to follow him.
