People are starting to not follow covid rules, which just keeps us in lockdown longer and longer. Ugh. It's increasingly looking like we'll be like this till Christmas, even though a decent proportion of our population are vaccinated.
The government want to keep us in lockdown until 90% of the country is double vaccinated, because our health system is already bursting at the seams with only 50 covid cases in hospital, and they just wouldn't be able to cope with an influx. I understand and even agree with the plan, but it could take us a long time to get to 90% because some people are so resistant to the jab.

agree, this feels like the longest stretch ever. Doesn't help I'm dealing with family things that will only be resolved once we are in the new plan after 90% double jabbed.
