Most of these cases detected are asymptomatic, and owing to the vaccination programme, very few are being admitted to hospital. As long as the NHS is not in danger of being unable to cope, we can carry on regardless.

So my view is, we continue apace with the vaccinations and cease these restrictions as planned on 21 June.


The funniest bit about this is in the last 7 days cases are up 24%, hospitalisations 25% and deaths 38%. Is there a source for the claim that most people are asymptomatic?
