If only we’re brave enough to be it. If my post is in bold and this colour, it's a Moderator Request.
Avoided a couple of questions - e.g. On both could masks remain and a return to the office.
Israel kept masks indoors long after the stage we are at in their hugely successful vaccination campaign.
While there might not be a legal restriction on offies, or distancing rules, that doesn’t mean employers won’t keep a significant proportion of staff out of offices (and out of danger). They do still have obligations under various health and safety legislation to mitigate, and with the rules requiring even those vaccinated to self isolate in close contact to those testing positive could cause significant disruption to businesses.
Indeed at least one Civil Service department is moving it’s employees to enshrine working from home two days per week. If Government are leading by example, the example isn’t the one the Iain Duncan Smiths of this world were pushing for last September. This will have some economic impact well beyond July 19.

So the vaccines are so good that the gov have no faith in them and want to carry on with this lockdown fiasco. nice graph work by twitty explaining the whatifery scale.
Good news for weddings just keep it miserable.

Younger people don’t get hospitalised as OB said or what I stated:
.
There’s very little granular data and depends what your definition of “younger” is, but if you want to score a point as OB posted his as an absolute statement, I would doubt him to be correct.
That said, it’s irrelevant as the numbers are so low. Even now in the North West, where the vast majority of those being infected are “younger”, those being hospitalised are still the over 85’s, not the young.

With an option to do it sooner if the data allows.
If we get to July 7th and hospitalisations remain under the threshold ( which they are now, well under the SAGE prediction level for opening up) hen they should open up on the 8th along with an apology.

Setting yourself up for more disappointment here Pierre. They were clear about the impact of vaccination over the next 4 weeks going forward.
If in two weeks things are much the same then that's a bonus. But there's zero chance of easing restrictions meaningfully. He might throw the plebs a bone just to be seen to do something.

As things stand – and on the basis of the evidence I can see right now – I am confident we will not need any more than 4 weeks and we won’t need to go beyond July 19th. It is unmistakably clear the vaccines are working and the sheer scale of the vaccine roll-out has made our position incomparably better than in previous waves.
In a different thread about alien invasion, it was said that alien life form may not necessarily be like or anything close to human form. I speculated that they could take the form of a virus (the pandemic hadn't long started at this time) and that covid could well be an invasion by a different life form and not as usually portrayed eg little green creatures arriving on space ships
On this evenings the One Show, the virologist Dr Xand said that humans started out as a virus and eventually morphed into what we are today.
With this in mind, does anyone know, if covid managed to kill every human on the planet, could it survive? Or does it need human beings to live on and be mobile?
If it can't survive without us, it's aim seems rather counterproductive. Perhaps it's the work of the devil

You've found the solution there Richard to kill Covid we all need to die. Can't see it being popular.
( I'd avoid the One Show if I were you . CBBC is still broadcasting at that time and more informative. )
