Looking at comments on social media and WOL, this will not go down well!! Looking at that article, he talks about another wave as inevitable!, ?? Grr, I know another wave was mentioned by whitty the other day, because some models were showing that.. He has lied to us, infection and deaths are at their lowest for a long time, many elderly and vulnerable have been vaccinated or will have been within a few months, yet he's wiping the entire rest of the year out. | ![](/images/avatars/9243.gif) |

I think and hope he just means it won't be normal because the virus will still be here. Because it is still here another wave is inevitable, but it should be much smaller and have less impact because of the vaccine. It's click bait to a certain extent. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

The role out of the vaccinations was designed to target the most vulnerable , is he not now confident that a level of protection heralded in December by having the vaccination programme is no longer viable ? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

No I think that will still be the case. As not everyone can or will have the vaccine and its a nasty virus for some of those who aren't considered vulnerable so we'll have to minimise it in society for a while. I think until at least late spring 2022, but that shouldn't mean lockdown or anything like it. I'm thinking vaccine passports and rapid tests etc. Of course Drakeford not seeming to have a plan for moving out of lockdown does nobody any good. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

That is an awful tale but not by any means isolated. It means you have every right to feel indignant at the cretins who even now refuse to mask up,socially distance , get pissed up at a celebration for winning the Scottish League or simply get together to get hammered as they see it as a right to do so. Innocent people have died in England,Wales Scotland and NI as a direct result of these killers and that is what they are. We have all been too accepting of them and think back to when Bojo passed thee rules but said they wouldn't be enforced. Police now doing it,face true shythoues. My son in law is right amongst it all and the public,as ever ,know jackshite apart from what they read or hear from journos. Too right we are not back to normal and will never be ,at least not that we knew. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Exactly but telling the truth doesnt go down well on here. Nobody knows where we will be at the end of the year. The scientists and medical advisers who have more knowledge than us believe there will be another spike and thousands will die. However there are many on here who try to ignore that and expect Drakeford to make things up as it is good for business. Last year when Johnson promised we would be back to normal by Christmas Drakeford responded by saying he felt Johnson was being way over optimistic. His honesty was proven right. Who is to say he wont be right this time. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It looks like he's being realistic. People will go out when the pubs are open and act like tools which might take us back a bit. Having the jab will obviously help, the opening of pubs will be the acid test. I expect to go out for a few on April 12th but I will be adhering to the rules, will others be doing the same? I think that decision will decide if it spreads again. | ![](/images/avatars/22251.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

IMO the acid test is the schools opening, I think pubs opening for outside drinking is fine, obviously there will be places that will break the rules, but that goes for all Covid rules. When they say the 3rd wave is inevitable, do they know that there won't be a 4th, 5th, 6th wave, if we've got to live with the virus, lets start living with it, and come down hard on those that flout/break the rules, we certainly can't go on living in a semi lock down for much longer. | ![](/images/avatars/8685.gif) |

Drakeford No Back To Normal 2021 on 20:45 - Mar 11 with 3652 views | Dr_Winston | The whole point of the vaccine is to limit the effects of a third wave (which there probably will be once restrictions are relaxed). If nobody is getting hospitalised as a result of an increase in infections due to vaccination, then what's the problem? The issue here is that the WG are acting like the vaccine doesn't exist. That they feel lockdowns are inevitable even if they aren't really. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

Yes the schools could cause a problem also but if they are half as good as my boys school it shouldn't be a big problem if the parents adhere to the rules and don't send their kids in when they have symptoms or if someone in their household has symptoms and a test booked, believe me that happened umpteen times before the last lockdown. I think that another wave is possible not inevitable and it all depends on how the public react to the opening of the schools and the pubs, touch wood they will have learnt from the previous lockdowns and if the vaccines work. | ![](/images/avatars/22251.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
