I think the crowds at the seaside over the last few days give a very real indication of how much people want to revert to their usual lifes.
I know people already booking foreign holidays for 2021.

Rog Our boat neighbour has booked holidays abroad for November 2020 and Jan2021. As he said, he likes to travel and no damn virus is gonna change that.

Ricco, you're getting carried away with your doom mongering. The economy will shrink this year because half of it's been closed for months. That is all. By next year it'll have grown by almost the same amount as the backlog of "stuff to do" gets done. A lot of people may be squeezed for a year and some notional tax rises no doubt but it's not like we'll ever pay the debt off so it'll be more like waving to it. ....You see it already, queues at fast food outlets. Takeaways booming. Internet sales of the usual goods booming. Boats selling. Housing market returned. Cheap petrol for my old jap (crap)bikes. The younger, working generation want their fast food and foreign holidays. Why shouldnβt they? They work long and hard for their rewards. If we bugger up the planet, we wonβt be seeing any of the above....

We are at the mercy of the honesty of the media most of the time...that's why I try to avoid it...and fail on a daily basis. Even when you do avoid it, someone will walk past who will gladly pass on second hand news.

Even when you do avoid it, someone will walk past who will gladly pass on second hand news. Honesty and media in the same sentence does not compute.. Facts will always be 'tweaked' for sensationalism..its what folks feed off.... As to China...we will never know the truth, we may suspect that there is an awful lot hidden but we will never know.. But its not just China is it?..there are many countries who will not reveal what happens within. We know many many thousands have died from this virus, do we really need country by country comparison? I listen to a bit but then switch off.
