You're one of several people who have expressed similar contemplations in the past couple of days that i know of...

I've rearranged one of my Lakes weekends which was originally for Ennerdale in June, back to september for the LDMT weekend... hadn't been planning to do it this year but looks like i'll be there (all being well and it goes ahead)
I saw that and was very pleased. I'm planning on having two or three days off work next week and the weather is looking pretty good so will take advantage - it's less than an hour from where I live. Hopefully the car parks will be open by then. Looking forward to it.
From the Financial Times: Update: "following the latest official figures from the four UK nations, a cautious estimate of the number of excess deaths up to 11 May is 56,800." So not my fag packet.
SARS and MERS vanished as they were nowhere near as infectious as Covid 19, their R's were relatively easy, compared to Covid 19, to get under 1. Ebola "goes dirty" before it becomes really infectious - fever/vomiting/diarrhea/bleeding. Covid 19 is so more infectious, and from its world wide spread, much more stable - it is not going to just disappear. It is going to be with us, like 'flu, until we get a really good drug/vaccine. In terms of total UK deaths - I do hope you are right!
And here we have some excellent news.
"Visit Blackpool has rebranded as Do Not Visit Blackpool to discourage visitors."
We don't need any discouraging.
