When do you think shops and restaurants will open/ will be able to meet in groups?

[Daniel.]

Now that we seem to be past the peak.

April

Do you think we will be back to normality by summer?

I need some hope, I feel so depressed

I think we will be close to normal as long as infection are under control ...but still wearing masks, as long as nothing new crops up :worry:

I think there will be limits to group size when they first open

[Shaun]

I'd rather not have this conversation since having it so quickly after the first lockdown was what lead to the worse peak.

[Cal.]

May I think

I think we all know that the answer will be "probably too soon lol".

We'll get towards summer, case numbers will dip dramatically like they did last summer, it will be declared that this was due to vaccination success, Boris will announce Eat Out To Help Out 2: AstraZeneca Boogaloo, then case numbers will start to creep back up again and everyone will pretend to be shocked.

[bots]

i think they will start opening up again in mid feb and by mid march, everything will be open again

[Calderyon]

Between end of 2021-2023.

Or later.

BUT this time we have a vaccine, which should ensure at least nothing as bad as this peak

No chance shops will be shut for longer than a few months.

for shops and restaurants that wouldn't be good economy wise

not to forget theme parks, zoo's

[Smithy]

If/when they open I imagine it’ll be the same rules as last time to begin with that you’re only allowed to dine out with people from the same household... whether or not everyone will follow that is a different matter I suppose :eyes:
