Hopefully, the postponement might be less than four weeks

And if a new "variant of concern" comes along do we have to wait for the data on that before the end of all restrictions?
Like Pierre, I'm lucky as my situation means the lockdowns have had no real effect but for minor issues like havng to wear a mask etc. No big deal. Any extention will not affect me personally but I do not think it is right to do so.
An increase of 2 weeks may well be enough to push businesses in the hospitality and entertainment industry over the brink with the loss of many thousands of jobs. Furlough doesn't guarantee a job will still be there when the restrictions are lifted.
Mental health issues are likely to rise and is a problem for the future. I know the roadmap was hopefully expected dates but many have taken it as gospel.
It's OK saying "What's another 2 weeks?", well for some it could be a big problem.
