Doubt it. My family is no longer game to try to travel to see me in Victoria. Been trying since the first lock-down. Still got the tickets, but either can't catch a plane, or are waiting for the lock-down to end, have booked over 4 times now and been stymied each time. Now they are unhappy that even if they get down here, they may end up in quarantine for the two weeks they have off. I tell them not to worry and to wait till it all calms down a bit more.

Easter in our household will the same as every year; pretty much a non event. Rarely see my children/grandkids; live too far away but I still have a husband whom I like to spoil throughout the year every now and then. Fortunately for me, this is a reciprocal arrangement ...........

Not if they keep people coming into the Country and placing them into Hotels. People should be processed of shore when any one comes into the Country. This way we might have the chance to have a get together in Easter and Businesses are allowed to trade. Unfortunately our governments are too stupid to do otherwise.

I think the community will have more confidence once the vaccine rollout begins; that should allow a little more reason to celebrate

My family doesn't really celebrate Easter so it'll be the same as Christmas for us, except for chocolate eggs and easter buns.

Its funny, when we all discuss Christmas...there are loads of people who get all worked and upset about it being all about Christ, and people have forgotten the true meaning etc.....Yet when we get to Easter ...another Pagan festival that the Christians stole from it's true owners...Everyone is talking about hot cross buns, chocolate eggs and bunnies...I guess the Christians couldn't come up with anything better.....

It is all so over commercialized it. I am sure children will enjoy the Easter eggs no matter who is or not there.

As I live in NZ & we currently don’t have any COVID restrictions. Hopefully that will not change & we will be able to travel & get together with family so Easter will be the same as Christmas.

Easter and Christmas have been taken over by the commercialisation and the true meaning has been watered down. Why would you purchase a washing machine or large TV at this time
·

Hot cross buns have been in our supermarkets since January 4. Given Easter is not till April I am pretty disgusted. Hot cross buns are a Good Friday item. I think the whole Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter etc. is far too commercial and has spoilt the excitement of both children and adults.

Our family were all able to be together for Christmas -first time for the year.It was a wonderful day. Easter hopefully we will be able to do the same but we live in such uncertain times it's hard to plan ahead..We have 5 children and 13 grandchildren so the gatherings are always large.

  Bit harsh. Not his fault someone used a nebuliser and spread the virus whether he knew or not. Dan has faced the media every day and when times were bad he did not shy away from any of it. Give him some credit. He is fighting a battle with a virus that is changing all the time. Hotels really are not built to be quarantine stations. I still think the outback mining camp should be the goer and a much safer option but everyone will have something to say about that also.

  He might be remembered also for doing the right thing and stopping a completely full on outbreak. I still think we have been very lucky with the way each of the premiers have handled the outbreaks. Victoria was the worst hit and all the other states learnt from each response. WA just came out of a 5 day lockdown and yet you never mention him. Obviously you do not like Daniel and that is your prerogative but I know plenty of people in Victoria who have the opposite view which is also their prerogative. I just hope this lockdown stops this new variant from spreading. Hope you have a good Easter.

Easter eggs and hot cross buns start appearing in the supermarkets in February...yummm, but I think it robs some of the wow from Easter. We have no COVID problems at the moment so it should be a nice time...hopefully

We can only take a wait and see attitude. Better safe than sorry! Good thing is it is late this year. If it is a warm sunny day -- it would be possible to gather outside.

In Australia, Taiwan (handling the pandemic really well) and Egypt whose vaccination programme is the most progressed I think will have a muncher better Easter.

Hopefully we will still be in lockdown and can avoid it. Just get into the Easter eggs without having to share.

It is still weeks away so anything can happen. One can only hope things will improve especially with the vaccinations about to start soon. Can always Celebrate In-House and Zoom the relis in. Good time for making home movies and capture "the way of life" for future generations to look back on!

Here in New Zealand we were able to get together for Christmas, thanks to the government's generally responsible management of the Covid-19 situation. So Christmas was good, and Easter should be good too.

Will definitely depend on where you live and what your particular family does at Easter. Christmas was pretty normal for us as there were (and still are) no known cases in this region. Easter is not a big deal for us. We don't normally gather with extended family, whereas Christmas we do. It will probably just be my adult daughter and possibly my older daughter if she is free. The older lives about an hour away due to her work location. No special plans, probably just too much chocolate & a few drinks if anything.

I was raise an atheist by my parents (the only good thing my parents ever did for me) - SURPRISE - I am not into religious celebrations. Besides, both celebrations (Easter and Christmas) origins evolve from PAGANISM

No, it is probably better that social distance remain with US just awhile longer so that the VACCINE FOR THE VIRUS COVID-19 has had a little more time to-work it’s barrier against this dreadful pandemic We have waited this long so why rush things now] and undo the great ?? work That has got us this farEdited 14-Feb-21 01:05am
