Do you support the idea of a two-week ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown after Christmas?

Julie Mooney: No, lockdowns haven't worked up to now.

Also numbers in hospitals aren't rising in comparison to case rate so no need.

Angela Clark: No. More disruption to education.

Chris Sumby: Yes. If it keeps the NHS from being over stretched and allows people needing care/ appointments to get them it works for me.

Ashleigh Wigham: Like all the other ones that worked? Definitely not!

Sunderland in Photos: Why after Christmas, why not now as covid at it highest!

Natalie Carroll: Had three jabs to keep safe, why another lockdown if they work?

Lisamarie Wilkinson:

No, enough is enough, we need to learn to live with this now.

Alison Robson: Yes if it stops the NHS being overwhelmed, then sort the NHS out as it’s not fit for purpose.

Neil Swainston: Don't agree with having one. However if it stopped NHS being overwhelmed then it should happen.

Debi Sanderson: When they stop all the illegals entering the country and turning a blind eye I'll think about it.

Mark Lloyd: No we need to learn to live with these variants.

Sandra Asquith: I haven't had three jabs to be in lockdown again. Two weeks would turn into months. Everyone can make they own choice to go out or stay in.

Paul Emerson: I think anyone with a brain should know by now that it would never just be two weeks.

Claire Cook: No, we need to be sensible wear masks and get vaccinated and live with this.

Graeme Wharton: Doesn’t matter what you think, it's going to happen.
