Whilst none of us have a crystal ball, I think one of the next things to come to terms with is that restrictions to cope with the covid19 outbreak are not here for the short-term.

I appreciate a lot of the posts of optimism, but it’s important to also prepare for reality.

There’s a nice upbeat meme on Facebook.
Imagine when lockdown is over – we’d all be running outside our houses, hugging each other.  Ringing Nan to say, “Pop the kettle on I’m coming over”.  Imagine that first pint in the pub.

So on.

It’s a nice feel good fantasy.
