You can take that up with Witty,Valiance et al they quoted it at the last briefing.

So, ask the driver to do it in future. Your reaction is juvenile.

My reaction is understandable for someone at risk. I take it you've not lost a family member to covid (yet)?
They will either meet my requirements or I will use another supplier that will.

Re: Coronavirus
Exactly. The vaccinations are very helpful, but don't guarantee that people won't get the virus, be able to pass it on, end up in hospital or lose their life.
After losing two family members and being extremely clinically vulnerable, I take preventative measures extremely seriously, especially since the variant is much more contagious.
We can't keep everything closed down forever, but I cannot understand why the Government has created a 'do as you please from today' scenario.
I think that cases will now start to rocket so much that we will have no choice but to go back into a full lockdown in the coming months.

Their personal investments depend on the plebs getting back to the treadmill Richard. Let others take the risk while they reap the rewards.

"plebs getting back to the treadmill"
not a very nice thing to say, considering many 'plebs' have been on the 'treadmill' continually throughout the whole thing.
Maybe you should put that sort of stuff on your rhubarb instead of on here?

This isn't 'Freedom Day' we're not 'free' until we can control this pandemic at a local, national & global level. Our actions from today have the potential to cause significant suffering to others. Our actions should be considered & thoughtful. Unlike the government's.

Oh for goodness sake don't get your knickers in a twist, if you want to live under your stairs, then go ahead, millions of people are sick of all this crap and want to get on with their lives, at the end of the day if Covid doesn't get you something else will.

Lock down means middle class people hiding away while working class people bring everything they want to their front door

We cannot stay in lockdown limbo forever, our children have missed out on education for a long time, they’re essentially a year behind, this isn’t good. Also people’s mental health are suffering, suicides up tenfold. COVID-19 is something we just gonna have to live with, like the flu. Hospital admissions are up, but deaths aren’t and we have to get back to increased freedoms.
The hospitality sector is on its knees, so I’m glad we’re on the road to recovery, deaths are down, the easing of restrictions can now stop the real suffering.

Correcting a statistic I gave at the press conference today, 19 July. About 60% of hospitalisations from covid are not from double vaccinated people, rather 60% of hospitalisations from covid are currently from unvaccinated people.

Not true, and since corrected.
https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-...lance-12359317
Then again, as the vast majority get vaccinated, a percentage of those still ill will of course be people who have been vaccinated.
Its not 100% effective and no one has ever claimed it is.
