Looking forward to being able to nip out for a pint or a bit of lunch but on one condition. That there are not herds of kids running wild all over the place......whether inside or outside. Super spreaders they are indeed. Send them all back to school and cancel the 8 week break they have......that includes the stew dents. I will be checking before I go anywhere as to what the establishment policy is regarding minors and social distancing.

Spot on fender...with each passing week it will fade away and things will get back to "normal"...doesnt matter if its a new new normal or not...but apart from those who will insist on wearing face masks and gloves after a while you wont notice any difference.
Even those who lost loved ones etc will have to move on and get back to a regular life, just like losing someone in "normal" times you cannot go around in a state of grief all the time, you have to get on with life.

To respond to other points above though, I'm in the 'highly vulnerable' group (ongoing chemotherapy) but I'm certainly not 'scared witless'. I still do my own shopping but exercising considerable caution, only going out once every few weeks and then only when I know that the shop I'm going to will probably be all but empty of other customers.
I recognise that I'll probably have to exercise such caution for much longer than 'fully fit' people, so rather than 'feeling uncomfortable going out' once the restrictions start to be eased, I simply won't be going out much anyway.

I will just be very pleased to resume normal life. No, it won't bother me and I will not feel uncomfortable. I will probably stop kissing friends when I meet (hangover from living in France)but I've lived my whole life at risk of various infections; from T.B. (when it came back in the 70's and none of us had been vaccinated because it had been eradicated in this country) to the 1968 'flu epidemic, through to the H2N1 virus in 2009 - when we caught it because Mr.J2 romantically took me to Paris for my 60th birthday.
You can't spend your life worrying. I shan't.

Indeed not, jourdain. I shall be resuming my usual lifestyle just as soon as I'm allowed to. It is fast approaching the point for many where the certain effects of the cure are becoming far worse than the possible effects of the disease. Comparatively very few people are at risk of serious illness from this disease. The vast majority will experience trivial or no symptoms. The world will have to learn to live with it (as it does with many other diseases). Yes, sadly some will succumb to it (as they do with many other diseases). But to consider keeping the population locked down for a lengthy period is simply not a viable proposition. Many people are not living at the moment. Mrs NJ and I most certainly are not - we're simply existing. We haven't been anywhere other than the shops for six weeks. The highlight for us this week was to give the kitchen a good bottoming. We're lucky - we have a spacious house and garden. But there's only so much you can do for entertainment without going out. God knows what it must be like for people who live in small flats. We shall be out and about as soon as we can because it's becoming a choice between possibly dying of the virus or certainly dying of boredom.

Will be in the pub as soon as possible and at crowded race meetings . If I'm the one in x , well better to go out as a lion rather than a lamb. Roads aren't closed for weeks on end because someone dies in a road accident and airports don't close after an aircrash . Anyone of a like mind can be joyed by https:/
