"How much longer can we as a nation put up with these longest lockdowns and strictest restrictions on the planet.??"

Ours are far from the strictest restrictions - we can leave the house as much as we want, we don't need written permission, we don't have to check in every single day and report our health status etc.

I am, however, completely losing my mind. Every day is the same. There's no end in sight. Nothing feels enjoyable anymore. I'm sick of food,telly,work,my cat,myself.

First of all, it's not true, neither the longest not the strictest part.

Secondly, we're one mutation away from a virus that is resistant to our vaccinations and kills in much higher numbers (it's already got the highly transmissible part).

Finally - how much longer? Depends on how effective the rabble rowsers are.

Depends on the vaccine availability and that got a slap in the teeth today.

At a guess May/June before we get to move around the country and are able to socialise but travel outside the country is going to be the autumn at the earliest.

It’s been tough on many many people in this country which the cost has yet to be counted

Don't get me going. The 5km rule is ridiculous!!!!!

Small shops should be allowed to open again. Big shops should be allowed to return to click and collect.

In the meantime the government should finally do their job and sort out the meat factories which means sick pay leave and appropriate accommodation, same applies to the now incoming fruit pickers, testing and inforced quarantine. Also ramp up that contact tracing and testing.

If a marquee goes up somewhere it's not going to be a greenhouse to grow potatoes, it means that someone is planning a bigger get together. Therefore intervene before it's happening. It's not f**ing rocket science.

Vaccine roll out and uptake is surely the only thing that will dictate easing at this stage

As Dog Hunter said there is lots of things the government could have implemented to curb transmissions. But they didn't. Useless pack of fools. No outside the box thinking. No implementing obvious restrictions like enforcing 2 week quarantine for people coming in

Typical paddy whackery, "ah sure we'll just ask people to stay in"

For anyone that is resistant to taking the vax I'd ask are you more afraid of possible/mostly untrue side effects or this shit going on for another couple of years

The 5kms restriction applies to exercise only.

If we're lucky next autumn and winter shops, public transport, pubs, restaurants, indoor events, cinema will be open / normal. But will still have to be wearing masks because of fear of variants of Covid-19. Normal.....that could a few years away yet.

Yes definitely related to vaccine roll out...maybe the AZ issue is more to do with their delivery issues rather than a risk...

I think we have to accept that this is normal for our times...to want to go back to what we did l

2 years ago may not happen...we need to get back to the basics ...work ..moving about but we have changed as a society we will never go back to "normal"

5km allows you 78km2 to visit, 20k means you have 1256km2...huge difference and much bigger risk

5K has nothing to do with the health its purely a preventative measure to prevent a slew of evictions from businesses. Gavin Reilly from Virgin News tweeted this after one of the last government meetings.

Madness.

Not long more. I strongly believe the Public are very close to rebelling. We, right now as a country have 1 of the longest lockdowns around in relation to what u can do and what's open. Were like this since oct, bar a small reprieve in December. the vaxc setup is a joke and we have no end in sight and summer is around the corner. It's obvious their plan is around vaccines but unless it ramps up drastically they'll have to open the country or people will take their lives back themselves. Are u telling me once the good weather plus very long evenings are in, people will obey restrictions? Not a hope, vaccines dished out or not. You have to start leaving people live their own life again and live with covid as we move along.

Put Varadkar and Harris back in charge and get it done, realistically.

Less of the FF paddywhackery bs.

Don't even bother her arse with the Leo Garda debacle. That's a sideshow they're winding up to take attention off the major issues.

Steady up with Harris , he thought this was the 19th Pandemic.

I would put Mick O leary in charge of getting the vaccine and jabbing them into people's arms like a conveyor belt 24/7 .

The question works off the premise that everyone follows the guidelines...

Other than organised protest from shady ass folks like we have seen there will be no major uprising, simply because those people who are not willing to follow guidelines either haven't been or will start breaking them in their own private ways.

So other than online venting or private conversations the frustration won't build to some national revolt because everyone find their own pressure release point. Sure the voices get louder but that's about it.

I think the pressure will come on the top table more and they will then open up more. the obvious plan is open up as little as possible until herd immunity status is reached with vaccines. thats grand in theory but the problem is thats light years away in reality and the people as we approach the summer won't put up with this much longer. supermarkets are packed, throngs coming through the airports yet they won't open construction or lift the 5k. its like robbing peter to pay Paul.

Complete different attitude.

Our neighbours have 22 million people vaccinated because they didn't secure it as part of an EU wide procurement so started earlier than us. That process was to keep the price at low as possible and make sure smallee countries within the EU had same access to vaccine as the large EU countries.

Not sure its attitude related that we have less vaccines complete than UK at this point.

Ya its a shame we haven't had a quicker roll out of the vaccine....

The UK also has nearly twice as many deaths per capita so I'd take an extra 4 months under restrictions of we are directly comparing the two

I'm tier 6 vaccination, have ckd which puts me at slight risk, sometime late June to be vaccinated..

My GP aid that nothing will really change, even with the vaccine, Social Distancing, Masks and Hand Hygiene will be the norm for quite a while

I'd love to know what our government or any governments plans would be now if a vaccine wasn't found. There's no way we could stay in lockdown indefinitely. Herd immunity would have to be in place and everyone take a chance that they don't catch Covid.
