The roadmap almost sounds too good to be true, but I'm going to remain hopeful and keep my fingers crossed.

Gyms open 12th April for User

[15:41
8 March: Back to school, outdoor socialising with one other person,
care home residents allowed one visitor

The prime minister is setting out four stages of easing lockdown in England.

Here is the first one, which covers new measures coming in on 8 and 29 March.

Remember, all four tests must be met for the steps to go ahead as planned.

Schools

Children and young people of all ages will return to classroom learning
in schools and colleges in England from 8 March, the PM says.

Socialising

You are allowed to meet one other person from outside
your household outdoors for "recreation".

This means that instead of the old rules where you had to be exercising,
you can now just meet up for a coffee, drink or picnic.

Care homes

Care home residents will be allowed to have “one regular indoor visitor”,
but they must wear full PPE and respect social distancing.

The "stay at home" order will remain in place until 29 March, Mr Johnson adds.]

twice a week testing for secondary and college students for Zizu

[Gyms, libraries, zoos, museums and theme parks
You can only go to these indoor settings with
members of your own household,
but they will reopen on 12 April.

If they are outside, then you can go in
a group of six made up of two different households.]

17 May: Gatherings of up to 30 outside,
rule-of-six inside, weddings, funerals,
wakes resume,
alongside large-scale sports events/performances

The third step will begin no sooner than 17 May.

Socialising

Up to 30 people can meet up outdoors,
including in pub and restaurant gardens,
but any more than that is illegal.

Indoor social mixing allowed again,
but only up to six people or two households together.

Sport

Indoor exercise classes can resume, the PM says.

Large-scale sporting events or performances
will be allowed with up to 1,000 people indoors.

Outdoors, a capacity of up to 4,000 will
be allowed – or the venue being half full – whichever is lower.

Bigger football stadiums will be
allowed up to 10,000 fans - or a quarter
of capacity – whichever is lower.

Weddings, funerals, receptions, wakes

From 17 May, 30 people will be allowed
to attend weddings, receptions, funerals,
wakes and christenings.]

The Labour Leader is now Speaking.


He speaks of his plan for Nightingale
extra School classes.

4 tests to be met to loosen at each stage

Vaccination roll out continues to go well

Reduction in deaths and hospitalisations

Infection rates do not surge

No new variants

same Braden :laugh:

OK it could have been worse i guess.

At least now i have a date to focus on and can work to maintain my muscle mass.

Yes Sounds good
but Variants will carry on appearing.

My mood has instantly lifted after that.

I sure hope this really is the beginning of the end of all of this.

SNP Leader
says Johnson has left the back door open to new variants
on International Planes arriving.

And should do what Scotland has done
every flight that lands is into a Hotel.

What about cafes and shops?

oh I misread that as misshapen mass :hehe:

We will be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee by 21 June apparently

[15:46

Monday 12 April: Non-essential shops, hairdressers,
beauty salons, gyms, libraries, zoos,
museums, pubs, restaurants and bars
to reopen – but outside only and with just your household]

12 April: Non-essential retail, hairdressers, nail salons, gyms and outdoor areas in hospitality venues (such as beer gardens) set to reopen - along with libraries, museums, zoos and theme parks. Self-contained accommodation will reopen, but people will only be able to stay with members of their household

• 17 May: Pubs, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, B&Bs and children's play areas set to open their doors once more, with fans allowed back into sporting events. Most rules on social contact outdoors will be lifted, while mixing of different households will be allowed indoors. Up to 30 people will be allowed at weddings, funerals, wakes, receptions and christenings

• 21 June: All legal limits on social contact set to be removed, with the remaining sectors of the economy reopened. Weddings are the only events where some restrictions may have to remain

Mr Johnson has already confirmed that all pupils will return to the classroom on 8 March.

Outdoor recreation with one other person will also be allowed from that date, meaning people can sit together in a park with a coffee, drink or picnic.

From 29 March, larger groups will be able to meet outside - including in private gardens - up to a maximum of six people or two households.

Tennis courts, golf courses and other outdoor sport facilities will also reopen on 29 March, which is the first Monday of the Easter holidays for most schools.

But the Reviews before then
could have Data that changes that
to be more Realistic.

That is true, but we live in hope

i think its a very measured plan, 6 weeks before pubs etc opening up means a good dollop of the population will have been vaccinated
