If they are going to delay the 21st opening they need to say so now.

Far to many businesses are investing a lot of money (which for many is a last throw of the dice) to open on June 21st and hope a successful summer helps stop them from going under.

I'm no expert, and I rarely follow the news on the subject now, but I was wondering how people believed June 21st was going to be the end of it all

Especially those who believed the clubs would be fully reopened.

How is it selfish for wanting to have a normal life and not being driven by fear of death, (death is a part of life)

Stay home do not eat any sugar fatty food, don't drive in case you crash, don't smoke drink etc... as it might kill you.

get vaccinated and get on with it now.

Data not dates. It was the mantra from January.

The May 17th relaxations were going to be the most risky, as they potentially brought so many people together, in to situations that could foster higher levels of problems.

We're still not in the place where we have all of the data yet, on how those lack of restrictions are affecting us all. And we still, each of us, have abilities to ensure that we get the data to a better point.

The Indian variant is a struggle for us and we need to ensure that it doesn't take too strong a hold.

I think we should have delayed the May 17th changes, to force the understanding that everything is still at risk and we each have to continue to behave to restrain infection levels and to get the country to the right point for relaxing restrictions even further.

I sense that most people took it as a done deal that we were as good as already at June 21st.

100% But common sense is thin on the ground as having some is now considered "Boring" or you get labelled "Fake/Time Wasters " but we done our own thing but sadly our block list has grown apace as refuse to meet people who do think so little of our health or even their health or even others health and seems the most virulent strain is "Stupidity" as it seems to be catching but the most lethal variant is the " Desperation " strain

If people are going to call me boring, then they can knock themselves out. I've got bigger priorities during a global pandemic.

What about all the people who've lost loved one who couldn't get help or urgent treatment due to the fixation with Covid at the expense of everything else? If you were one of them how would you feel? If your loved one had just been told his/her cancer had progressed to stage 4 because they weren't treated in time? Would you be being ignorant and selfish?

If it was truly about data not dates then we’d have been fully open weeks ago. As it is current rates are way ahead of the best case predictions of Imperial College.

Next you’ll be telling us that if we hold back we might be allowed to celebrate Christmas this year

Plus we never ever ever ever really had a proper lock down ?? like where we live in the south west ...400 thousand heading here to the holiday parks etc etc ...everything mostly fully booked and how many are coming from the Indian variant hot spots ..insanity on a grand scale that beggars belief but having a populist government lead by ideology always ends well..just ask ..Brazil etc etc etc or even go back further in history ...

Of course there will be a third wave, and a fourth and a fifth, but that in itself does not matter, its how well our vaccinated bodies and the NHS cope with it that's important.

We have seasonal waves of flu, are we counting how many waves we have had of that? No, as it's generally under control.

Fingers crossed that with the vaccine rollout, future waves will not hit us as badly as the initial ones.

Hospital admissions, seriously ill and people on ventilation should be the new yard stick now. These figures have remained steady

Also we need to be telling people how many of those in the category above have and have not been vaccinated.

It's time for public health and the government to be far more stern and transparent about how this is reported.

I fear it'll be Christmas all over again, albeit on a smaller scale (yay we're opening - oh wait no we're not). I'm not sure anyone can take much more of this.

It does seem to be a total repeat of that whole Kent variant episode.

At the moment all we can do is speculate, Boris keeps saying that we are still on track for a further easing of restrictions on 21st. The data is suggesting that all the headline figures had dropped to their lowest level for a long time but have stopped declining, but then the modelling was forcasring modest increases in infections in line with each easing of restrictions.

Ultimately, the decision will rely on the "government's" interpretation of the data as it sits in their chosen model, plus their own assessment of political implications of the given choices.

In the end it is just a matter of wait and see and having everything crossed and be interesting as some have said what reaction there might be if ...but doubt it if anything will happen as people still believe in Boris/Alex and he's pretty much teflon coated the hardest things are coming down the tracks though and then ..

I believe you've over estimated the influence you have over the situation. It doesn't "end when you decide" it will end when the virus is no longer a threat.

In the UK we are bordering on being in control of it here, but then we have to consider the impact of foreign travel too. I can see the domestic unlocking continuing as planned, but foriegn holidays and other international travel could take another year (or more) to get back to normal.

One death is a terrible tragic but death is an unfortunate fact of life.

On average 5 people die in the UK in road accidents, do you call to ban all cars?

Do you drink? On average 20 people die a day from alcohol related illness... are you calling to ban alcohol?

Clearly we can’t allow Covid deaths to get back into the hundreds per day but we do have to accept some level.

We are being told that all/most being hospitalised in Indian variant hotspots are unvaccinated... well I bloody well hope so or else what is the bloody point of the vaccines?

It’s a bit “no shit sherlock!”

As has been said above the key factor is not number of cases it is number of hospitalisations. Is the NHS in those areas overwhelmed?

The other factor that we need to know is whether the proportion of people within a specific age band that are getting hospitalised is changing compared to before the vaccine rollout. To be clear, not the proportion that make up the numbers in hospital (we already know more younger people than other groups) but whether the proportion compared to population number across UK of that group.

This will show whether the pattern of infection and severity of infection has changed.

I'd be intrigued if they repeated the test events now what the outcome would be now that community infections are increasing fairly rapidly in the age groups who would attend. Better still repeat it in leicester or Bolton or hounslow and see the outcome.

I’d personally like to thank the selfish wankers who took off to India and brought it back with them

Didn’t isolate

Didn’t quarantine

Just gathered in their masses and spread it everywhere

Cheers

Let it affect their lives

Let there be another wave

Yes deaths maybe low and we have a large amount of people vaccinated and getting there's every day, however giving the virus a chance to spread again gives it more opportunities to mutate. It only takes that one person to catch it for a variant to form. We've been lucky that all variants so far are protected by the vaccines. One bad mutation and we could end up right back at square one. It's a critical situation and not over by a long shot.

From my experience anyone who shouts FACT is usually wrong to a greater degree ..

My worry is who exactly are the 'dirty bastards' you refer to? Because it isn't clear..

Are they uk people not vaccinated returning to the uk ? Because there's plenty of them around not dirty bastards though ( apart from being on Fab..if they are! ) likely they are quite mucky I'd say!...

Or are you referring to someone else? And again I wouldn't call them dirty..lots can't get vaccinations yet in their own country you know!..that said the UK continuing to let people in who are not safe is crazy.. But they never learn and they keep making mistakes..unfortunately that sort of attitude is what will keep the waves and the variants coming. .

Air travel should not have started a cross the world until people had been vaccinated in my opinion .. But they would lose the tourist pound then wouldn't they! :/

I think we have also bought into and are now spreading the large number vaccinated trope. Only 49 per cent of adults have had both doses. That's a very long way short of herd immunity by vaccine. Which if I remember was predicted as somewhere between 70 and 92 per cent from a year ago. So actually

.. Compared to some countries we have more people vaccinated... But I'm not sure it's large. And I'm not sure its currently doing any good to stop the surge in infections and hospitalisations.

Infections up over 30 % today and hospitalisations up over 20 % today. We have a problem anyway you observe it.

Agreed. Even Andy Burnham stated a few weeks ago this was largely brought about by those travelling back from India and not quarantining / isolating effectively.

I that was your brother, sister, mother, father or child would you be saying the same thing?? Ignorant and selfish comment! Early you didn't lose anyone to covid? Lucky you!

The question you have to ask did covid alone kill the person or did it contibute to an already under lying health issue

On the first lockdown someone I know father died of sepsis they wouldnt let him in to see him even in his final moments

An guess what they put on the death certificate that's right covid! Because they were told to

How is it selfish for wanting to have a normal life and not being driven by fear of death, (death is a part of life)

Stay home do not eat any sugar fatty food, don't drive in case you crash, don't smoke drink etc... as it might kill you.

get vaccinated and get on with it now.

Just a few thoughts around this topic, perhaps to share out loud. I don’t believe this wave sequence will stop. Wave three, then wave four and so on. The world has changed, and YOU included. Economies are down, entire industries are at risk, local shop owners/SME’s are shutting down (or about to), business advise employees to work from home, school are adopting remote learning and we have all been groomed to being isolated.

Do you really believe things will ever go back to pre-covid?.. billions have been spent on this current form of “normal” and millions of people have lost their jobs/at risk of loosing their income, with that, comes further debt challenges (mortgage, loans ..etc). I don’t believe that this global governments initiative/direction is only about COVID. The data doesn’t point to anything tangible in the sense that is more alarming than accidental road deaths, suicides, influenza deaths, cancer just to name a few- perhaps COVID is at the bottom of that list from death/year ratio. Whether your for vaccines or against them, for lockdown and isolating or demanding your “normal” day back - this change is irreversible. One thing that actually lacks data is the long-term effect of vaccines in protecting from different virus strains or from potential long term side effects/disabilities resulting from taking the vaccine, not just one producer but multiple Pharma producing different types of vaccines.

There is no selfishness or ignorance in wanting to go back to our “normal” daily routine. We are social by nature and isolating is not something anyone prepared for. Certainly not for this length of time. It’s not like we have a choice in the matter to decide for anything anymore - big brother is doing all the decisions on your behalf

I'm not sure anyone who describes people as "woke" can be taken seriously.

Nobody actually wants lockdowns, but people have been killed by the virus so it is understandable that people are concerned by it. I personally know several people who have died due to the virus, and several more who are suffering months of health issues despite being previously healthy.

The ideal situation is for as many people as possible (globally) to be vaccinated as quickly as possible. This will effectively remove the problem, protect people from getting sick and reduce the rate of mutations.

Whilst it isn't selfish to WANT everything to get back to normal, it is most certainly selfish to be willing to risk other people's health and well-being to achieve it.

Well...me too.. We've swapped messages before... We share a passion for gigs.. But that will come eventually... I think we need to get community rates lower and vaccine rates higher before that happens.

But... I don't feel we are even close to being locked down. Everyone's allowed out.. To hug or not to hug... (as Shakespeare once said)... Pubs, restaurants, shops, gyms, pools, aiports are all open and doing a roaring trade

If they are going to delay the 21st opening they need to say so now.

Far to many businesses are investing a lot of money (which for many is a last throw of the dice) to open on June 21st and hope a successful summer helps stop them from going under.

Take away the racist undertones and look at the actual facts here.

The Indian variant was brought back from India.

Vaccine hesitancy is high in the Indian community

We need to start publishing data that tells you how many people are in hospital that refused the vaccine.

I'm sure it won't be the only reason. But when you look at the stats of the number of passengers who were tested positive on arrival its surely a big contributor.

Third wave inevitably will be here. However the data is looking promising, very little deaths with the Indians variant at the moment, it’s mainly just positive tests. Bolton hospital had a critical event but other hospitals are taking some of the load.

All in all I don’t think another lockdown is the right move for the moments, although I do think we need to delay the freedom day a little just to make sure

Today's data isn't. It's actually quite worrying.

I agree I think they are... And merit investigating until a better informed decision can be made. Rather than a gamble.

Without wanting to bore you all I've been studying this data since January. This is the first time since April I can remember such an uplift. Might be a blip but this week and next should be interesting.

Doesn’t bore me at all lol I find it quite interesting and it’s good to see where we might be heading. Definitely a swift uplift, I keep my eye on the deaths though as I think that’s a key indicator just how bad things are getting and they are going down, to even a day of no deaths. Hopefully it will last

What about the data today that it’s the lowest deaths across 7 days since September. And lowest death count yesterday since it started. How have u studied that data

So that was yesterday. Today we have had 12 deaths. The more people that get admitted to hospital the more they risk having to go on ventilation. The more people on ventilation the more people risk death

One day is irrelevant, as it will be affected by the bank holiday, the seven day average is what the government will go on. The numbers in hospital are the important ones

Yes hopefully it will last and we don't need to worry about deaths or long covid increasing. The pattern so far in the previous 3 waves has been infections go up... 2 to 3 weeks later hospitalisations go up... 2 to 3 weeks later deaths go up.

The patterns previously were before the vaccine programme got into big numbers .

What people are forgetting is we had all these scare stories about packed beaches etc last year, cases didnt rise, they only went up when autumn came and people spent more time indoors, we also now have nearly half the adult population fully vaccinated so the risk is now very small. There is one section of society that is still at risk, we all know which one but it appears the government and the media both lack the balls to.say so.

Can't believe people are still falling for this complete nonsense from these lying politicians. It's unbelievable, even Cummings has come out basically saying they are lying bas#%rds and should all be sacked.

To continue listening to and even believing what these people say is just beyond insane.

You do realise that this is like waiting for Flu to be eradicated before we (get back to normal) in other words Never.

This man-made disease isn't going anywhere, so we have to learn to get on with our lives.

It would be good to know of those in hospital... Age range and vaccine status.. It might give some comfort to folks... Or not. Of course we wouldn't normally give two hoots about flu vaccine or any other vaccine status... But the need for info is because a lot of people don't believe a lot of the messages we are being fed and also... To your point... Want to stop the dancing around the problems...

Not racism… BUT FACT!!!!!!

1 days data with a much smaller sample set and a 2 day lag…. And that’s why analysts will not take 1 days figures in isolation….

We were told back in January that the vaccines are the silver bullet and it looks as they are !

Covid19 deaths are averaging less than single figures per day, yet deaths from cancer are running at 450 a day.

Covid19 is here to stay, we either get on and live with it or just forget ever living a normal life ever again !

When did he or anyone else stake any reputation in it.? At all points from announcement to now it has been at pains to say it will be data not date led and each stage is dependent on the key measures (these are obviously top secret as we can't be trusted with them) being met and that they are "no earlier than" dates.

I'm not surprised that people hear what they want to hear. Especially after what has been a really tough 18 months. But seriously the fucking media.. "freedom day" it's so irresponsible. Freedom from what exactly...? Makes me so fucking angry... I've had emails this morning from some one telling me the govt made up the 130k deaths. As if it matters to people who have lost loved ones. I don't trust the govt or big pharma.. But I trust selfish twats whose only motivations seem selfish and to bully and belittle others even less.

If we continue as we are with vaccination we'll only be going forward as it has been a fantastic success by numbers that could've also been deaths if the vaccine wasn't available.

Well Portugal is now amber was green before because of increase number of cases so if this continues we'll be going backwards and forwards for some time unless other countries catch up with the vaccine rollout so might as well look forward to 2023
