Christmas is going to be the new press obsession then like summer holidays were back in May

Honestly I certainly can't see the situation being any better in December than it is right now and the chances are it'll be worse

...sadly, I’m not sure that it’ll be too much better by Easter 2021, either....

i think the issue is that Boris yet again talked blatant bollocks. It's now a recurring theme, both on Brexit and covid. He tells people what they want to hear, even though what he is suggesting is completely infeasible

Met a friend yesterday whose 89 year old mother in law died during lockdown, her death was certificate issued with Covid on it before the test came back, she didn’t have any Covid symptoms...and the family never got the results of the test

A Canadian flight was cancelled and police were called because a child was not wearing a mask.

Safwan Choudhry says WestJet wanted his 19-month-old to wear a mask, but the baby girl would not stop crying.

The airline says the issue was not with the infant, who is below the age required to wear a mask, but with Mr Choudhry's three-year-old.

Tuesday morning's Flight 652 from Calgary to Toronto was stopped, and all passengers were ordered to disembark.

"It's unlike anything I have ever witnessed, let alone experienced," Mr Choudhry told the BBC.

We've had lots of new cases in Norfolk. Over 100 members of staff at Banham Poultry in Attleborough (about ten miles from me) tested positive. Although I've not heard much about people in my area coming down with the virus during lockdown, I'm hearing about more and more cases lately. One of the MPs I used to work with reckons we're heading for another lockdown.

i think we are heading toward more restrictions, there won't be a fully fledged lock down. The schools have just gone back, we have had the first cooler weather and boom, the infection rate goes up, it can only get worse from here.

I'm also very concerned that Boris seems to have his head in the clouds. All his talk of near instant testing is just lies

I find myself agreeing. I know that this is a new situation and no one get's it 100% right, but bloody hell. It's like they're lurching from disaster to a knee-jerk reaction, back to a disaster...

Saying again, too many are going for tests - that do not need it.

I would be very, very surprised if they went anywhere near full "Spring-style" lockdown again. Frankly, the economy cannot take it, and they are very aware of that. I don't see them closing non-essential shops, I don't see them closing offices and workplaces, I don't see them winding down NHS services (the backlogs from last time are still an absolute disaster). I'd be very surprised if they close schools, and think that'll only really become a possibility if some evidence emerges that having them open is a major contributor to the spread. They might have to consider going remote for older teens though.

I do still think they're going to have to look at pubs, bars and dine-in restaurants though... and other similar indoor activities and gathering places.
