May 2021 would be my guess. Afterall the chavs need their annual trips to 'Beefa'.

Hopefully just as important will be the treatments being developed to enable us to return to “normal.” So sad though that we have paid such a high price in terms of deaths and covid will have changed society profoundly.
May 2021 can't possibly be too soon.

The government's plan to reopen schools, non-essential shops and pubs across England has been revealed.
A senior government official told The i newspaper about Prime Minister Boris Johnson's roadmap out of lockdown, which is scheduled to begin on 8 March with the reopening of schools
It is believed that the reproduction number (R number) will be assessed as pupils return back which will determine whether the country can move on to the next stage.
If the R number stays low and the infection rates remain at an 'acceptable level' then Johnson is expected to give the green light for non-essential shops to reopen, which could happen at the end of March.
As we approach the week leading to Good Friday (2 April), if there is no significant rise in the R number or infections following the reopening of non-essential shops, the final stage of the plan could be actioned.
This allows hospitality businesses - including hotels, restaurants, bars and pubs - to open their doors again from the Easter weekend.
According to The i, this would mean that we could see a return of staycations and people will be permitted to take breaks in England. Foreign travel is expected to be off the cards for some months to come.
Speaking to the publication, the government official said: "My understanding is the Prime Minister is encouraged by a slew of data coming out that shows the positive impact the current lockdown has had
"By March, there's also a good chance that almost, if not all over-50s and younger vulnerable groups would have been given at least their first dose of a vaccine.
"The optimism is increasing at Downing Street and we may well be enjoying a pint in the pub by Easter if the data continues to improve in the coming weeks."
The Prime Minister has also been persuaded to axe the tier system, following reports that it did little to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
The official went on to add: "The Government would like to do away with the tier system entirely.
"If another lockdown is required in the future because of another new, more transmissible, variant that current vaccines don't work against comes along, then there's not a great deal anyone can do about that.
"The current plan is very much the three-stage approach, beginning with the reopening of schools, watching the R number, and if that remains low then non-essential shops will open.
"Then another short wait until hospitality businesses open."
It is believed that the roadmap will be announced and launched on 22 February

Feels all a bit too quick for me, I'd rather they went slow and took time to see impact of changes. If you open schools then any effects will take a few weeks to show in the data and by that time they'll have opened the shops (going by the above) and it will be too late if they spiral again

Agreed. The earliest anything should be considered for opening is Easter. Infection rates are still much higher than when we (eventually) locked down in Autumn.

fudgein despicable the CRG making demands. The same pricks have already fudged the country with Brexit now they're demanding we bin all laws in April. How about we assess closer to the time? Once again these guys will destroy lives around the country to suit their greed.

They did it, 2 days earlier than promised too !! 15m
It's the very least they should be doing.
Someone has to keep the govt in check as the opposition have failed to so miserably for the past decade.
April's far too late but it's probably the earliest that would be accepted by the cowardly press and public.

They are idiots. Even Johnson seems to have worked that out.

Hopefully 2nd generation vaccines, like this one from Nottingham University that’s about to start Phase One trials, will ensure the world is not so vulnerable to future mutations.

And if this trial of the AstraZeneca vaccine in children proves successful then maybe immune imprinting could see kids have lifelong immunity from this virus.

We’ve made amazing progress in a year. I’m sure this time next year it will be a virus that we can deal with pretty much like most others.

Yup, we thankfully have lots of great medical experts who (given enough time and funding) should have things back to normal despite bungling Boris and the rest of Eton mess.

"We're sick and tired of experts" though.
