The media helps move emphasis Zizu.
I mean a week after he announced the lockdown, they started the when will we be coming out of it.

He has a group, an anti lockdown group of his own MPs who are pushing to just about be out of lockdown fully.

It's who he listens to in the end and does he stick to his original statement of no quick easing of restrictions.
Or cave I to his backbenchers and the media.

The new strains are there still.
Negative stuff has often for a time been swept under the carpet by this PM and his Ministers.
So it doesn't surprise me, we hear less of things like that.

Those shielding and the new grouping added to the shielding have had letters now telling them to shield until March 31st.
That's the wise move.

Plus since we're in the lockdown now, in my view anyway, the only responsible thing to do is leave all restrictions in place until then too.

Look at the first week of April for a more safe and more controlled virus period to come back from lockdown.

I'm hoping he sticks with his original seemingly determined caution he expressed.
However I don't trust him.

As I said, I see no point in returning schools back for just 3 weeks then off again at Easter.
When those 3 weeks and the 2 Easter week break, another 5 week period, could have us in a safer period as to the virus.

It's all the media are on about now however, pushing as to when and by how much the easing will start.

It is a very scary time, you're correct..
It shouldn't be made more scary by recklessness now by easing again too much too soon.

I hope he'll resist easing too much too soon.
I wouldn't ease anything until April myself if I had power however.
