Are you Girls hopeful about 2021?
I am. I think this winter's going to be hard, much harder than the lockdown earlier this year. More people dying (also from seasonal flu etc, but add covid etc on top of that...), more lockdowns, more confusion, less money/income, and far less "we're in this together" than the previous lockdown, added loneliness, mental health suffering...
But I think this will also see the virus mutating enough for it to become less deadly, both in terms of deaths and long term illness and disability and straining the NHS, so by NEXT winter it should "just" be another seasonal cold, appears every year and is a nuisance at worst.
Once we hit Feb/March, and spring starts to gather pace, and blue skies, more sun etc starts to appear, and the numbers go back down (or stay down, if the lockdowns are successful), I'm hopeful that things overall will start to improve.
