Re: Coronavirus

I think Seph means "the end" to be no restrictions, which depends on a lot of intermediate steps taking place safely with a gradual approach for the reasons Chris outlined above. That's much, much further away than Easter/May/early summer. However every 4-6 weeks it could/should ease.

Masks, distancing and working from home encouraged as offices will initially return at reduced capacity for a period (months) will likely to be the last to go.

Hospitality will probably reopen with multiple phases initially outdoor, probably a 2 metre distance followed by a one metre distancing to reduce capacity before no restrictions. International tourism will remain precarious until other countries get to a better situation.

There will likely be a nervousness around the return of school after summer and students flocking to university in September if those remain largely unvaccinated. (I think there's an argument to vaccinate students before they start moving round the country en masse).
