Why/how would that work?
As far as I'm aware you can still catch and spread the virus even if double jabbed . . . or am I wrong

If you are banking on anything I’m betting absolutely against.

First day of my holiday in Anglesey today. The weather is beautiful, the scenery stunning, peace and quiet at last whilst the rif raff disappear to the Costa Plonker. . You should appreciate our green and pleasant land more OB. Be a patriot and support the UK economy. Happy Hols

Re: Coronavirus
I've just returned from a short break at Beaulieu; will be holidaying in Weymouth during August; prolly go to Deal for Chrimbo. Tomorrow going to our Rutland house.
But can't wait to be able to return to Vienna for a September few days when possible.

You have a good track record on this, jfman.
Therefore, I would advise Old Boy to have a patrotic holiday in his back pocket in case he can't take his regular von der Leyen-approved break.

I went to Cornwall. Also looking forward to being able to go abroad though. Good call on Vienna, very nice city.

Andrew Marr has revealed he tested positive for coronavirus after being double vaccinated.
The BBC News presenter told viewers on Sunday that he believes he caught Covid-19 while attending the G7 summit in Cornwall earlier this month.
‘I had a bit of Covid last week, despite being double-jabbed, and very nasty it was too,’ he said, adding that his symptoms were similar to a ‘summer cold’.

Would you be prepared to quarantine for 10 days in Vienna before enjoying that splendid city? Or would you decide it's not worth the hassle?

Presumably they've all been vaccinated though.

So nothing more than what thousands of people get every year then.

Yes, he says it was ‘really quite unpleasant’ and in another breath he says it was ‘like a summer cold’.
Surely, both statements cannot be right.

I indeed did say “can’t wait” - but ….

The real reason wasn't simply the rising infection count but the unknown impact on hospitalisation/ICU/deaths. If the models show that vaccinations is keeping these figures manageable then the infection count is less important.
Boris is doing a good job, not perfect but I don't think anyone else would do much better. Different focus may benefit different sectors and that cost of others and some would have got us even more in hock. On top of Covid he has other issues to sort out like NI/EU, trade etc.

Re: Coronavirus
It’s clear by now that the question HMG has always been interested in is at what level can covid be allowed to circulate through the population without overwhelming the health service. A bald figure representing number of infections tells us nothing about the likelihood of unlocking occurring on 19 July because we no longer know what the correlation is between infections, hospitalisation and death. The reason we no longer know this is because of the vaccination programme. The whole point of the delay is to gather that data, not to drive infection numbers down. Had the intention been to reduce infections by population control measures, we would have been back in lockdown by now.
