Guaranteed...... ........still going though. :)

April 12th needs to be made a bank holiday in future - Beer Garden Day :drink::drink::drink:

I went to one a couple of weeks ago - the church had been made 'covid secure' with marked seats, distancing etc all in place and carefully managed. I believe allowing 6 at a wake was a minor concession given the circumstances (and if there was no concession far more would take liberties I...

I guess the roadmap, if published with all dependencies and targets based on those dependencies, would firstly be incredibly complicated and secondly each line would be potentially open to so much criticism and counterargument as every party with a vested interest or agenda makes a case for...

Kind of agree with both but I suspect what we'll get on Monday is a vague 'plan', starting with the schools and a few other carrots lobbed our way for good behaviour and then a series of steps that will depend on data targets that won't be disclosed..........'and when infections fall below an...

The poll was only of 2500 people, and 50% of them indicated they wanted some aspects (pubs etc) not to be open until May. Not really the ‘majority of the country’. Think the ‘majority’ accept a gradual easing of restrictions, subject to the data supporting it, is the sensible answer. IMO there...

Precisely why any poll is irrelevant...........doesn’t really matter what people want, as we’ll get a controlled easing until pretty much everyone is vaccinated......obviously there will be the anti-vaxers and others that still won’t have been jabbed, but they’ll be taking their own risks with...

Poll is utterly irrelevant. It’s the data that will determine what happens and new data is coming every day. No-one should be making any decisions about April/May now, and I don’t think Boris will either.

That's exactly it - there might be lag or overlap, but the relaxing of restrictions is going to be balanced against the progressive vaccination plan. Boris is 100% right not to be committing to anything/any dates - need to tread softly and see how each step impacts the data. If the vaccinations...

No it isn't - there have been several days during the last few weeks where the number (in the official data, reported daily on the government website) has ticked up a bit then dropped again - I suspect it's as much to do with the reporting than the actual test results. The 7-day rolling figure...

Agree re a cautious approach, but last 7 day rolling period is 86,321, which down 33,204 (-27.8%). How is this 'levelling out' ? There are often daily fluctuations (the news outlets seem to ignore the trend and take delight in saying 'oooh, that's xxxx more than yesterday') 14-02-2021 7,500...

Not sure where this ‘1,000 a day’ came from (another leak presumably), but even if it’s a target to hit before easing restrictions, it doesn’t mean it would need to stay at 1,000 - logically you’d want a low starting base to be able to manage the situation from so it makes sense on that basis...

There absolutely should and will be steps to relax restrictions.......and agree a 3-4 week gap between those steps to understand the impact is necessary, but I personally don’t expect an ‘Autumn upsurge’ - by then everyone will have been double-jabbed. The data will continue to be monitored...

Be interesting to see how the curve continues once the schools reopen (I don’t there will be many, if any, other relaxation of restrictions for 2-3 weeks after that to allow the effect to be measured) .........they’ve dropped from almost 70k to around 10k in a little over a month.

Agree. They’ll have a whole range of options based on various data outcomes, but won’t publish it........will drip out as time goes on

All a bit of a guess but providing data trend continues (infections, hospitalisations and deaths all very significantly down) and vacc prog delivers (and data confirms the vulnerable have been protected by the first jab), maybe something like : -Schools during March -More outdoor mixing (rule...
