I don't think the public would 'allow' another lockdown once released tbh. I was actually hugely surprised at the high compliance for this one. Not...wanting people to rebel, but figured we were getting there. I think people might deal with a short one, IF its a short one. The problem I foresee there though is..the two we have had were 'sold' as a few weeks. And dragged on months. So would anyone even believe if it was a 'firebreak' or whatever name they are using now..

I actually see intermittent lockdowns as the way forward til vaccinations are done. BUT, I dont mean random months here and there. I mean, a couple of DAYS every few months. Which may not be dable, and might not effect it, but I really cannot see 1. The public listening again (especially now half the country is vaccinated, when for like..a year everyone heard the vaccination is the way out. Even if the science changes, I feel it would be VERY dodgy ground to admit that no, the vaccine is not the way out, sorry..especially after all the u turns we have had in general)

Like, personally I would 'accept' another lockdown in the way that..if the shops and stuff shut we have no choice but to accept it. However, like hell would I be staying away from family again, even moreso when they all have had vaccinations besides the young ones.

Might sound dramatic, but I can genuinely see civil unrest, if another lockdown was attempted (even moreso when you look at polling and stuff, the country is divided, yet again, most swing a bit more FOR lockdown, but a lot I have seen are 50/50..and it seems to be getting that way in the commons too. I see this as...brexit on speed, and with the potential of very massive issues depending how its played now). And that terrifies me a bit, the possiblity, and knowing enough kicking off...would be very hard to stop..would depend how many went for it really.
