I doubt all those nightclub workers and those who work in stadium venues are making the most noise to be fair. But your snide dig at the lowest paid and most at risk was noted.
Yes, I meant to confirm that you were right on that point. I should have looked back at Pierre’s post before responding. I was relying on memory only, for which I do indeed apologise.

However, there are no concerns currently regarding hospitalisations, which are running flat nationwide. Transmission may be increasing, but clearly the vaccination programme is preventing this from becoming a problem like the first two waves. Assuming this remains the case in two weeks time (why wouldn’t it?) the PM will be very confident indeed that current restrictions can end.

I did not have a ‘dig’ at low paid workers, by the way. You don’t have to be low paid to be on furlough. The point was that those who are still receiving sufficient money to live on without having to work are the most likely not to want to see restrictions lifted.

Those who need to get the restrictions ended so that they can keep their businesses going or go back to work before their employer’s business folds are absolutely desperate for this to end.

I get it that some people want to keep the mask wearing and social distancing, but there is nothing to stop them continuing to observe these precautions. I shouldn’t think there are many clubbers amongst them, though.
