During a Downing Street coronavirus press briefing, Boris Johnson outlined the next steps in unlocking the country – or at least, England – expressing the hope for “significant return to normality” by Christmas.
'It'll all be over by Christmas' is a GREAT slogan. Never heard that before. Sure it'll prove totally true. pic.twitter.com/SzsW4uzOw7

He could probably have picked a better turn of phrase than one reminiscent of the First World War, but then we might not have had these very funny reactions.

Scientists are saying it’s incredibly doubtful that things will be back to normal by Christmas but I think Prime Minister Dominic Cummings thinks false hope is important to get us out shopping. #bullshit #keepkeepingsafe

Boris Johnson: “The disease may well become more virulent in the winter.”
Also Boris Johnson: “Gyms are opening, you can go back to work, the train is safe, enjoy a spot of bowling, go to a gig, football stadiums will reopen in October and it’ll all be over by Christmas.”

Boris Johnson: "Over by Christmas". What a wit, what a hilarious reference to The Great War. And you keep laughing right up to the point when you remember that it went on for 4 more years, took a million British lives and ended in a flu pandemic that killed half a million more.
