I suspect it will be 12 weeks, just based on that's how long the very vulnerable people have been told to isolate for.

It probably won't go back to the way things were until there is either a vaccine or we develop herd immunity. Social distancing is still a thing in china, probably will be here too, I can see the wearing of face masks becoming normalised. I think we're in this for the long haul, six months minimum, likely over a year.

At the current rate of testing it will take over 3 years just to check NHS staff.

As usual the banks are doing their usual thing and hanging onto their money.

The government needs to get a grip on all this, we need action not words, they need to go out and find a few decent project managers to get us through this, politicians and civil servants on their own aint going to do it.

Judging by todays Government briefing, whatever restrictions are eventually lifted there will still be some social distancing measures kept in place to avoid a "dangerous second peak" next winter.

Lockdown will be gone by 1st wk of may could be the beginning or end of that wk, cases will then rise again but more slowly, large gatherings will be banned for much longer I suspect, or until a large number have been tested with the new test which shows immunity once we hit 50 % then restrictions on all but the vulnerable will be gradually lifted.

Bumped into (2 meters apart) medic friend this morning and she said end of august at the earliest but probably end of year is more likely but, only if they are sure that you cant catch it twice, otherwise a vaccine is needed before life can be normal again.

Sixteen weeks. But before then a tighter lockdown will come and then in sixteen weeks we'll be where we are now lockdown wise, with the prospect of lighter restrictions four weeks later.

Just a hunch and based on the info I see for myself.

2 more weeks then people will start getting back to normal, forget the government people will just start retuning bordom, money, and knowing we not making any difference people will still die. Only problem the government now have powers over us (police state) 360 pages of new law's so we are all fucked.

Start of June maybe we will start going back to some sort of normal life, but nothing like it was before, maybe 18 months before we are back to that, have friends in Italy and also Spain and they have been in this longer than us, and there is no sign or talk of any kind of return from lockdown

Just because your friend is a medic it doesn't add any credence to her prediction. People and businesses can't possibly be locked down that length of time.

I'm pretty optimistic that it won't be that long. I think large crowded events won't be allowed until next year but I don't think this lockdown will last until summer.

I've seen many instances of people flouting the rules, having BBQ's in parks, crowds of people praying in parks, it's an absolute disgrace and stricter punishments need to be handed out.

In theory we should stay locked until we have 14 days in a row with 0 new cases.

It could happen in the end of June or the beginning of July if people follows the rules and/or if we get stricter rules soon.

14 days and no new cases could be 2 year's away,just think of it like the aids virus it's still with us.

As theyre expecting death rates to hit 1000 per day by early next week, i can see it being 6 months. Id go with 2 months as is now, then stricter measures for 3 or 4 months afterwards

I think if you were to purely look at it from a health point and from advice from most leading virologists and medical scientists then there is no way the lockdown should be ending in next 2 months.

However i suspect not only here but in other Countries the economy might start to be factored in more, and we might see some kind of step by step reduction in total lockdown by start of May.

2 months as it is now then 4 months of stricter measures? What would they be? Can't leave the 1 room let alone your house?

Count me out, if that's what it comes to then I'd rather catch it. Fuck sitting in my house staring at the walls for 6 months. That's no life at all.

Agree, I do think three months of lockdown/restricted movement is the maximum realistically. Beyond that we could see widespread disobedience and unrest, especially as the weather gets warmer.

Absolutely . Expect 6 months minimum lockdown with certain restrictions being lifted then imposed again. The lockdown measures have to become stricter when we start losing the 5-10 thousand per week. 18 months social distancing will be a minimum

That 12 to 18 atleast I should have said as that is still currently the earliest a vaccine can be released.

It will be necessary to ease restrictions by june. Once the effects have caused a sustained period of downward pressure on the curve we need to gradually return to normal or else we then see a sudden spike so i imagine schools go back around 8th June.

No way will they get the majority of people to stay lock in their homes for six months. Already lots of self employed people close to going broke. The economy would be completely devastated if it goes on any where near that length of time. I for one wouldn’t stay locked up for six month’s especially through the Summer

I think this lockdown will for sure be for 12 weeks . We know that as 1.4 million 'vulnerable ' people were told that last week . After that, sporadic lockdowns as obviously the virus will spike every time restrictions are partially lifted. What I said was that by all accounts this virus isn't going anywhere for at least 2 years ( and that's vaccine dependent) so expect these sporadic lockdowns over that period and social distancing to become a way of life throughout that period

I don't think the country will be on lockdown for two years but there's going to be a new normal, things will be in flux for a while but this a long term problem. If we're lucky there might be some respite over the summer.

I think the next two weeks will be the worst then numbers will subside gradually. I think it is a virus which will be around every winter like the regular seasonal flu and we will need a vaccine to keep numbers down.

It’s a virus, it’s not going anywhere.

As far as our situation is at the moment, I think we are like this for many weeks to come.

Herd immunity may come before a vaccination and requires 60% of the population to have had it I believe? I read some literature that thinks the infection rate so far is 2 or 3%, so look at the cumulative infection count to extrapolate 60% from that.

The lockdown will sink the numbers after a while, maybe July? Restrictions will be eased and if sensible, will be inapplicable for 'anyone who has recovered or thinks they had it and recovered' which will return some normality unless people end up being able to catch it multiple times (unlikely though). Many people will take that as a return to form, so depending on NHS capacity, we may see a second lockdown for summer, through to whatever the burnout time is (Sep/Oct?) I would wager vaccines start coming online around Nov for the front line workers and vulnerable which will tip the balance between a third full lockdown and a gradual return to normality. Likewise if a suitable treatment is discovered which opens up NHS capacity, we will be spared it at full strength. A wide take up of a bluetooth based contact tracking app would also allow for more freedom in this period.

The second full lockdown can additionally be avoided if antibody tests are widespread by then, and people could be excused from lockdown if they pass (only 83% accurate from what I read though).

All estimates pulled from the depth of my butt and entirely an opinion!

"No way will they get the majority of people to stay lock in their homes for six months. Already lots of self employed people close to going broke. The economy would be completely devastated if it goes on any where near that length of time. I for one wouldn’t stay locked up for six month’s especially through the Summer "

My guess is 6 months by which time China will have its economy at full strength while the west is decimated. We may all be paying way higher taxes and face shortages. I don't want to estimated the final death toll but it will be high. All the time the lying Chinese Communist govnt. will have got away with it scot free!

I reckon we will have another 3 weeks added on the end of this 3 weeks at the very least. Hopefully they will have pulled their finger out of their arse with the testing and immune people can get back out and working. Social distancing for a good while yet though although if we're all out and about not sure how we can.

Spanish Flu was a global pandemic and lasted for 3 years, what stopped it eventually was it ran out of victims. CV19 is somewhat different, they still don't understand why some people can display no symptoms and others will require weeks in an ICU on a ventilator.

You do realise the current test only shows if you have it at the time of the test not if you had it and recovered, when that test is perfected it will be a game changer.

I know we have cash reserves but it still isn't an endless pot of money that can pay everyone's wages indefinitely. Make no mistake the country is going to be paying for this for decades

As theyre expecting death rates to hit 1000 per day by early next week, i can see it being 6 months. Id go with 2 months as is now, then stricter measures for 3 or 4 months afterwards

2 months as it is now then 4 months of stricter measures? What would they be? Can't leave the 1 room let alone your house?

Count me out, if that's what it comes to then I'd rather catch it. Fuck sitting in my house staring at the walls for 6 months. That's no life at all."

I can see it being total lockdown for none food/nhs/999 workers. Im only a welder but have to go work, and theyll put stop to that. Ban excercise outings etc

2 years minimum

Dont be so fucking ridiculous ?

2 years ??

Every virologist, scientist etc saying this isn't going anywhere for at least 2 years and that's only with the possibility of a widespread vaccine. No scientist in the world has yet come up with any exit strategy but obviously you have! Let's hear it then instead of becoming abusive

You honestly think we will be on a lockdown for 2 years?

I don't think the country will be on lockdown for two years but there's going to be a new normal, things will be in flux for a while but this a long term problem. If we're lucky there might be some respite over the summer.

You did actually aay 2 years minimum, even though you now say you didnt ! Bit of a contradiction i feel ! I wasnt being abusive earlier, just saying what i thought, & yes, im no expert, just like everyone else on here !!!! "

There's no prospect of a 12 or 18-month lockdown.

More people would die of poverty cause by economic collapse than of coronavirus.

The sad reality is that the new hospitals being built should really be called hospices.

Most of the people going in there will die and the numbers will eventually start to fall.

The people who may remain in lockdown longer are those currently being told to stay in for three months.

They might stay like that until a vaccine becomes available next year.

It makes a big difference. Lockdown means the NHS has to try and care for 10,000 patients at any one point rather than 100,000.

That 12 to 18 atleast I should have said as that is still currently the earliest a vaccine can be released.

This is not a world war.

Young people are being kept indoors, denied education and a chance to start their adult lives - all for something that barely gives them a sniffle.

Many of them will rebel when they realise they face decades of austerity to give old people a few more years in a care home.

If (rather than when) the government decide to relax these restriction you mean !

They would be more than happy to keep these measures in place for months or longer, telling us all that the danger is not yet past.

they cant even get their acts together on testing people for the virus, and decide that the anti-body test is going to be licenced so they are not going to even think about a timescale for this to end.

there is no viable opposition in parliament, the judiciary and lawyers are all part of the Boris clan and will be earing their money whatever happens; so who is going to argue that the need for restrictions is over !

he didn't listen to his medical advisors telling him to start restrictions, he sure as hell isn't going to listen when they say remove them is he ?

the man is a megalomaniac buffoon who dies what he wants as there is no one to hold him to account and now he has the 'emergency powers' just watch this space what comes next - A curfew I bet, no one on the streets from 6pm to 6am ?

Not much point in a curfew - the streets are deserted from early evening onwards.

The worry is that he will introduce harder daytime restrictions - needing a permit to leave the house or risk arrest.

He will think that is strong leadership - it is, of course, to distract people from his incompetence in tackling the pandemic.

But at the time of the test you could be in the early stages of infection and test negative as you won't have developed anti bodies

Nothing about this is simple and there is no simple solution

In another two weeks we will know more about the disease, more about testing, more about death rates and more importantly if the current measure is effective enough to contain the spread and even if the virus starts to weaken it's grip as seasonal flu does with warmer weather.

In two weeks time we MIGHT have an idea of what we can do and when we can do it.

It's all educated guesses by people that aren't educated in this virus

It's what is happening in italy and spain right now. We had all the information from china months before the first case came to Europe. If it had been called something like "pulmonary plague" it would have been treated seriously from day one and none of the shit going down now would have been necessary.

It is a plague. It is an infection that has spread to every corner of the globe in just a couple of months. The deaths are climbing towards a million world wide already, and it is just in the earliest stages most places. There is potential for wiping out anything between 1% and 20% of the global population. And every time someone says "it's not that serious", "you're exaggerating it", "the numbers might be less", "it only gets those who are already ill", the final death toll is going to be higher than it needed to be.

What do you want from a plague? Black splodges all over the bodies, blood leaking from eyes? Is it not enough for you that people are unable to breathe and drowning in the sludge that is accumulating in their lungs?

To paraphrase the words of some wise people - it's a fucking plague, just fucking stay at home.

The worldwide experience is that with advanced hospital care the deaths directly from covid-19 can be kept down to about 4% of those infected. However when a very large percentage of the population are infected, the number of deaths overwhelms health care provision and something like 10% die. Then there are also the knock on effects of people dying from other conditions that are normally treatable because they cannot get treatment - car crashes, heart attacks, broken arms, mother and child dying during childbirth - all the things you take for granted because you normally have access to healthcare. Then the systems for disposing of dead bodies will be overwhelmed. People will die in houses and not be discovered for weeks or months. Other diseases - maybe your genuine to goodness actual plague - will spread. More people will die. If the system falls apart too much then food distribution fails, people starve or fight. More death.

So no, 20% global death is not unreasonable. It's unlikely. But get more likely every single time some damn fool says that there's no problem.

Because there is nothing to be cheerful about is the reason !

Too many twats who are still thinking this is not going to affect them and so are doing what the fuck they like !

Politicians who think slowly and act slower still leading people who don't listen to advice or obey the lockdown !

It’s not the plague think your exaggeration some what

It's what is happening in italy and spain right now. We had all the information from china months before the first case came to Europe. If it had been called something like "pulmonary plague" it would have been treated seriously from day one and none of the shit going down now would have been necessary.

It is a plague. It is an infection that has spread to every corner of the globe in just a couple of months. The deaths are climbing towards a million world wide already, and it is just in the earliest stages most places. There is potential for wiping out anything between 1% and 20% of the global population. And every time someone says "it's not that serious", "you're exaggerating it", "the numbers might be less", "it only gets those who are already ill", the final death toll is going to be higher than it needed to be.

What do you want from a plague? Black splodges all over the bodies, blood leaking from eyes? Is it not enough for you that people are unable to breathe and drowning in the sludge that is accumulating in their lungs?

To paraphrase the words of some wise people - it's a fucking plague, just fucking stay at home.

It's not a plague with a 2% mortality rate. You'll be suggesting mass graves and painting red crosses on doors next! "

No. I'm just trying to put across the message that this is very serious indeed, it's the biggest health crisis that has hit the uk in the last 100 years. I do hope that it doesn't go to mass graves, but it has already in some countries Please stay safe everyone. Some of you are my friends. Some of you exasperate me. You are all my fab family.

People keep going about about death rates and such. That’s what the media are feeding you. In real numbers this Virus is low in numbers!

Sadly 50,000 passed away from November. But 100,000 people have passed away from age related problems a day. I’m not trying to dumb down the numbers, far from it. A very good friend passed away last night, that’s our first taste of someone passing away from this! The first time it was not just a number but a dam good mate!

18 million die a year from Cardiovascular

10 million die a year from Cancer

I’m not trying to be a dick, but looking at the bigger picture, this is small in numbers

"I've said since late jan probably early feb to be in lockdown.

I believe we will have sporadic lockdowns to severe lockdowns for the next 12 to 18months.

I think that you are exactly right although I suspect a lot longer than 12-18 months! No one has yet come up with an exit strategy so this thing ain't going anywhere over the next few years unless an exit strategy can be realistically devised.

Exit strategy would be a vaccine?"

That is the ONLY strategy.

The WHO said TEST TEST TEST but also isolation or quarantine.

If you test test test before the spread gets far you can then quickly isolate people that have it and thus detain and control the spread eventually and contain the virus to those people.

It would be awful for the people that got it but it would now stop it from spreading to other people.

So an example is say london

You contain it by testing lets say and successfully you curb it before it got out of london to anywhere else.

This is what the WHO were saying all along.

The stupid government first wanted to go with herd immunity and now they realised that was pathetic and are going with this sudden isolation that was not even their wanted choice but because the stupid foolish people that didnt get it when out to the beaches and parks (some may have had to due to health issues I respect that) but everyone there didnt need to be there and thus they had to go with isolation.

The point however is that its not late, we are unable to curb the spread because IT IS spreading.

Now what they will do is open the isolation, people will go out, more get ill, ok isolate again and then repeat and rinse.

The fact is they didnt order PPEs in time, nor did they have any preparations in place even though this contingency of a pandemic has been tested many times incase it occurred and so we are now in this situation.

The USA sadly is in a greater mess.

The ONLY strategy now to exit from all this is a vaccine and this is what ive said for weeks if not months now.

Some may jump on and say well the antibody testing will be the saving grace and I say will it Frak!

The test firstly is only to say if you had it not if you could get it again or will....this is a NOVEL virus, this means we have absolutely no clue what it will do and how it will do it.

The ONLY solution is stay the FRAK indoors and stop being part of the problem - isolate and protect yourself and thus you protect others.

Its really that simple.

Thank you

That 12 to 18 atleast I should have said as that is still currently the earliest a vaccine can be released.

Not until a vaccine is made can we be out of this I believe.

Absolutely - a lot of deluded people on here I'm afraid"

Personally ,and not wanting to be morbid,l honestly think as the song says .." it's the end of the world as we know it "...it's not like this Corona Virus had landed in countries for a holiday and will check out in a month's time or something,..who the fuck knows when twill eventually be 100% gone ,if ever ,..the normality of life as we knew it before is over and the wearing of face masks could very well become compulsory like in Czechoslovakia ,I think ya can draw a line through 2020 ,it's April already,l would be very worried about the long term implications and the knock on effects of a lot of things that this Corona virus brings with it .

Accept you are being ‘a dick’ if you think that this is comparable. Just think about what you’ve written. Are the health systems in dozens of countries over run with cancer or cardiovascular related illness? Are health workers putting their lives at risk due to the lack of protection they have from cancer patients? Are people dropping dead of heart decease within days of the first symptom? Has the economy tanked because of these conditions? Will the numbers world wide dwarf those above within the next 6 months?

Stop reading shit posts on Facebook or whatever else you use for your shit statistics and think about what is happening.

I think it'll end once we all agree, every man woman and child, to hand over DNA samples to be put on profile, by sticking a swab up our nose total recall style. i.e. a test.

And once we've gone to the cashless society they've been desperate to foist on us for years. Now's the perfect excuse!

But most of all when 5G is up and running, while no-one's looking towers are currently being set up while we're all on lockdown and can't do anything about it. The opposition to 5G was huge, but now, along with French and Hong Kong protests has been wiped out. So the little people lose out and the masters get their way.

August is the date planned for the higher frequencies so a further increase in sickness can be expected - and it wouldn't surprise me to see this being misdiagnosed. Being ultra-sensitive to 4G or even 3G for long times, this worries me more than any virus.

Exactly, cancer and cardiovascular disease is not air born and highly contagious, that's what makes covid so much more dangerous

"If (rather than when) the government decide to relax these restriction you mean !

They would be more than happy to keep these measures in place for months or longer, telling us all that the danger is not yet past.

they cant even get their acts together on testing people for the virus, and decide that the anti-body test is going to be licenced so they are not going to even think about a timescale for this to end.

there is no viable opposition in parliament, the judiciary and lawyers are all part of the Boris clan and will be earing their money whatever happens; so who is going to argue that the need for restrictions is over !

he didn't listen to his medical advisors telling him to start restrictions, he sure as hell isn't going to listen when they say remove them is he ?

the man is a megalomaniac buffoon who dies what he wants as there is no one to hold him to account and now he has the 'emergency powers' just watch this space what comes next - A curfew I bet, no one on the streets from 6pm to 6am ? "
