What happens on the 1st of August? Does Covid-19 take a vacation?

Silly me. I have just realised. The government, the politicions, the members of parliament, the Sage secret cabal have to go on their holidays. A lockdown would prevent that. It is so obvious.

If you are looking for the actual answer to this, here it is:

At the current daily rate of vaccinations approximately 66-70% of all adults will by then have received both vaccine doses.

Whether this is a solid plan depends on whether that's enough people to get the UK to 'herd immunity' (it is considered to be so for other diseases) and whether the current rate of delivery holds up, and whether it's sound or not to not count children. I'm not in a position to answer those. But if all three are Yes, then some time in July is plausible, if not necessarily guaranteed.

Boring answer but as helpful as I can manage
