Given that the Scottish and Welsh governments have already announced what they are doing and the U.K. government has said very little is changing I very much doubt it.

Looks like yet another 3 weeks, but you'll be able to queue up for several hours at a garden centre....
Couple of government website are still emblazoned with the 'stay at home' logo, so whoever leaked that this was being withdrawn on Saturday night is a liar

That is definitely going to happen. The virus called me earlier and said it's bored now so it's going to stop.

This. The message is changing because there is going to be some minor relaxing of the rules, not an end to them.

What do we think these minor relaxations will entail?

Some minor relaxations to give the economy a boost. I don't think there will be any relaxations for the social side of things (visiting people, going out to the mountains etc.)

Certainly won't be 'lockdown's over, as you were'

Garden centres opening.
It's all about growing your own.





Gotta give people something else to think about.

Enough are ignoring it now anyway. When you get told to go back to work after the first week you will hold less fear over it and then you will also feel emboldened to go out and do other stuff as well.
I was scared for about a week at the start got told to go back to work and now I don’t really think about it too much people will accept the deaths and we will carry on as normal.

The virus isn't going to go away. It's simply a matter of whether or not the Government thinks the NHS can handle the number of people ill.

I think the greatest proportion of transmission now is in hospitals and care homes, so the risk of picking up the virus in a workplace or shop is less than it was before lockdown.

Two things will end any serious lockdown. Mass lack of compliance and the Government deciding it can't afford to go on paying people's wages.

I'm always puzzled by people wearing gloves and thinking they're safe to go out and carry on working. They wear the gloves all the time which means they aren't washing their hands and they're just spreading contamination around with the gloves.

It is also possible that quite a number will be so fed up with the lock down, they will start thinking `s*d this for a game of soldiers', am just going to go out in as near a normal way as possible, and If I get CV19 I will either die, or get over it. but what will be will be?

Aldi today was mental. Queuing outside and drip feeding people in. Hand sanitizer and wipes at the first set of doors and then it was every man for himself after that. Just like a normal day. Handful of people trying to stay 2m but the vast majority just willfully ignoring it all.

People round here seem to be having multiple families round to sit in the sun and BBQ etc. Its basically like normal now....

Aldi where i am had the opportunity to get a trolley so use your hands, THEN you got to the cleaning station. Because that made sense.
