You know it's done. Pierre knows it's done. When you want to let go of the far end of the narrowest straws and engage constructively on the future of Covid I look forward to it. However between now and June 22 debating a meaningless deadline that's already redundant is pointless.

Why the **** would that matter to you anyway? Where you live it's been toast since October 2020.

Not sure what you mean. I can go to the pub, restaurants, can meet with friends in their homes.
We're in a much better position than a couple of months ago.
I can't go to the lap dancing or a nightclub but on balance those aren't daily occurrences.

I doubt you do that very often, if at all

Oh, I can well believe you frequent the former of those establishments.

Re: Coronavirus
Good news?
Quote:
The number of people in hospital with the Covid variant now known as Delta is rising but not "very significantly," the boss of NHS Providers has said.
Chris Hopson said many of those in hospital in Bolton - the area worst hit by the variant - were younger, with "very few" fully vaccinated patients.
He said this appeared to show vaccines had "broken the chain" between infection and serious illness.
But a scientist pointed to "concerning signs" of the variant's spread.
Another 5,765 infections were recorded in the UK on Saturday, and another 13 deaths were recorded within 28 days of a positive test.
The recent surge in cases is being partly driven by the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant, which was first identified in India.
Mr Hopson said that in Bolton, people in hospital with Covid were "a lot younger" than patients in earlier stages of the pandemic, which meant there was "less demand on critical care".
He added that there were "very, very few" people in hospital who had had both doses of a Covid vaccine, as they had the "build-up of protection after those jabs".

Re: Coronavirus
Good news, pip, reinforcing what some of us have been saying on here for a while now. I see absolutely no reason not to scrap all restrictions, including social distancing and mask wearing, from 21 June.
While acknowledging the link between transmission and variants, the combination of vaccine rollout and increased infections will get us to that herd immunity point much more quickly.

COVID-19: Indian variant makes 21 June easing decision 'more difficult', Matt Hancock says
Health secretary says link between rising coronavirus cases and hospitalisations is 'severed but not broken'
The Indian (Delta) variant of COVID-19 is more transmissible than the Kent (Alpha) strain, making decisions behind the unlocking of restrictions "more difficult", Matt Hancock has told Sky News.
The health secretary said the new variant is 40% more transmissible, leaving the easing of lockdown on 21 June in the balance.
Speaking on the Trevor Phillips On Sunday show, Mr Hancock said: "That figure is the latest advice that I have. That means that it is more difficult to manage this virus with the new Delta variant, but crucially we believe that with two doses of the vaccine you get the same protection as the old variant."

You mate Hancock didn't seem so sure this morning... Mind you he's not been able to make a decision or stop lying for the last year, he must get it from his boss !
