I see January being a complete shutdown for those in tier 3 moving to tier 4 with stricter restrictions. All non essential shops closed and most businesses shuttered unless your job is absolutely essential until at least March. I still feel masks will eventually be extended to offices and streets. Lockdowns to continue on and off all year until a new/tweaked vaccine is developed for the latest mutant strain.

There appeared hope on the horizon when vaccines were announced but it now appears to me to be just a chimera as chaos and fear continue to be ramped up.

There are also rumours of the furlough scheme morphing into some kind of universal payment scheme. I personally feel all this is now beginning to look like a tyranny as we stand back and watch all these businesses that people have built up are being smashed up before our very eyes as we all look on powerlessly.

They say freedom dies in democracy when frightened people freely give it up, thinking it is in their best interests.
