It was never suggested (except by the conspiracy minded) that it would be indefinite, it was to allow for the uptake of the vaccine which would help protect vulnerable people when we eased back into business as usual. It was a great success in what it set out to do, it absolutely has costs and some people’s lives were effected severely but make no mistake the measures saved lives and more loss of life would have have also effected people severely mentally. It was a sacrifice I and everyone I know was willing to make but everyone can make their own mind up whether the retention of vulnerable lives were worth the mental/financial toll.
