I read the first four articles. None of them say that the lockdown will be lifted once a vaccine is available. They say that the lockdowns will remain in place until a vaccine is available. Those are not the same thing. Both of us seem pretty dug in: you that goalposts were set and then moved; me that there was always a wait-and-see attitude. I need to move on with my day so I’m going to bow out now.

    I would refer to it as the English game. And now I’m really out. :)

  You are in jail until your time is served. Does this mean you remain in jail indefinitely after time is served?

    It depends on context and the judge’s entire ruling rather than its headline-grabbing sentences. (Like all communication…)
