The UK will have vaccinated at least 20 million of the most vulnerable on March 1, providing a high level of protection three weeks later.
From then, the virus becomes simply less relevant than our collective mental health.
Mourning together is better than just being in solitary confinement forever; it's a 100% chance of a mental illness vs. a ~1-5% chance of a physical illness.
March 23, one year since the beginning of restrictions in the UK, I'm done.
Social distancing indefinitely (until Autumn? 2022? 2023? ...) is something other people can do.

- alecst 6y agoMan what makes you think we'll be social distancing for another two and a half years? And what is this 100% mental illness vs. 5% physical illness coming from? Do you really believe those numbers?

- esotericn 6y agoYes, indefinite restrictions will mean that eventually everyone develops severe mental issues. Change the 5% to whatever you like, it doesn't matter.

- distances 6y agoI can deal just fine with the current mainland Europe restrictions. I can see my girlfriend, I can meet friends in video chats (and I do, multiple times per week). I definitely would prefer to end this distancing as soon as possible but I currently feel I could technically continue this indefinitely with very few ill effects.

- esotericn 6y agoThat's lovely for you. I hope you enjoy your video chats.
