I agree. As the figures form Bolton seem to suggest the Delta variant flare up seems strong but mercifully short. Given there are very few restrictions at the moment I don’t see any harm in waiting a month before highly opening up. It would be different if we were in lockdown but truthfully there is not much we can’t currently doThe majority of people I talk to are OK with a delay if means preventing a 3rd wave.
Whats the feeling here?
If he hadn't cocked it up. You wouldnt need toIt's irritating, but as others have said there are very few restrictions compared to before right now anyway.
You can sit with your friends, you can go for a meal, you can go for a drink.
I don't enjoy table service or not being able to stand at a bar, but it's not a massive hardship to carry it on for another 5-6 weeks.

Can't you see he's useless
I think we are crossing streams here. Yes I totally agree government incompetence has led to this, not putting India on the red list has caused a big spike in cases and hospitalisations. he government has blood on it's hands, again. However, that doesn't mean we should open up fully. Regardless of how we got here, the situation is too febrile at the moment to open up everything.If he hadn't cocked it up. You wouldnt need to

Hence why I just told him to **** off. Funnily enough I didn't get a response from him after that.I had exactly the same back in January when out jogging. Self righteous posh bunt shouted “two meters” at me. Yeh mate I’ll get run over for you. Wouldn’t mind but i overtook him and his stupid missus on the inside of the road and kept a respectable distance.
Really Wanted to stop and rip into the guy to tell him I was only jogging to get over depression caused by isolation and the pandemic but since the silly **** couldn’t see further than his own nose what was the point??
Ref Foreign Travel, the 21st did not end the Travel Restrictions and requirements if the 21st came and went and Spain was still an amber country you would have been expected to self isolate or pull the don't you know I'm Michael Gove excuse.Then I assume international travel with more green countries going on the list will go out the window?
Wondering if my early July Mallorca trip is about as likely as a boro promotion !
Ryanair from Teesside also
The problem is the ratios Basically Infections to hospitalisations to ICU to Death. The trajectory we were on when the Infection rate was declining due to restrictions and vaccinations ment the 21st was probably about right.So the bit I’m struggling with is having looked on the nhs website at deaths by age it’s not the under 40s as people might expect it’s still predominately the 60+ which of course is still bad. The news are saying that recent Indian strain admissions and I assume deaths were in the vast majority unvaccinated people . So can I infer that’s there are a lot of unvaccinated older people still ? If so I’m not sure what we can do about this . These people should have been fully vaccinated for weeks if not months.
so what do we do here ? Restrict the country still? Kids and young seem to be fine .
