Care to explain that?

Certainly. You had to have proof of vaccination or negative test to enter. Everybody.
It still spread and caused a spike in cases in that part of the country.

As we know being vaccinated doesn't stop you catching it or carrying it (reduces those things)
Though actually I agree that the "Vaccine Passports" thing won't stop infection, it would reduce transmission.

It'll give people a false sense of security. Thus rendering them useless. But I'm sure some rich people will become even richer implementing them.

Not really, as you don't know what the effect would have been without vaccines, tests, etc. But we all know it would have been far higher, or at the very least, thousands more wouldn't have got tested to show up as "cases".
Also, a test wouldn't prove who had just caught the virus days prior, who then became infectious, just after entry.
Also, a short-lived spike, largely as 90% of 16+ is vaccinated with at least one jab, but not so much of those in the 16-25 bracket double jabbed who boardmasters is full of, which is how the problem initially started.
Be interesting to see how Reading and Leeds go, as I think they changed it there at last minute, so that everyone had to do a lateral flow on entry.

Then there's this, guess which groups are not vaccinated? 0-9 (following their previous trend) and 10-14 (accelerating above the trend).
15-19 partially vaxed but a boardmasters spike, and now coming back to normal, towards trend, and will likely drop below the trend.
20-79, all moving down, away from the tread, all heavily vaxed groups
80+ above the trend, probably waning immunity (vaxed first, worst immune systems)

Today's headline analysis:
• 32,181 new cases reported in 24-hour period, up from yesterday's 26,476
• 7-day average for new cases increases by 0.6% to 33,776 per day, following 2.3% decrease yesterday (and 24th increase in the past 26 days)
• 7-day average for new cases is 0.7% higher than one week ago (from 1.8% higher yesterday) and 14.2% higher than two weeks ago (from 15.5% higher yesterday and 19.8% higher 7 days ago)
• 50 new deaths within 28 days of a positive test reported in 24-hour period, up from 48 yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test decreases by 15.4% to 97.3 per day, following 1.0% increase yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test is 3.4% lower than one week ago (from 14.8% higher yesterday) and 5.1% higher than two weeks ago (from 29.0% higher yesterday and 13.3% higher 7 days ago)
Very clear bank holiday effect in the number of reported deaths.
As others have already commented upon, the number of infections does appear to be plateauing, regardless of the bank holiday effect in recent figures.

I'm guessing the massive number of deaths is a B/H catch up figure. I hope...

Yes, it will be. Will be Friday before we know where things are.

As I was up this afternoon I took the opportunity to do the weekly shop today rather than on my way home from work in the morning. The non-mask wearer's were definitely in the majority in Morrisons. I'm not sure that the messaging about case levels and the actual protection that the vaccine offers is reaching the wider public given that many seem to be behaving like the pandemic is over.
We seem to be stubbornly sitting at 30k+ cases per day (or over 200k new cases per week) and I don't think it's alarmist to think that those numbers will go up as the weather turns and we spend more time indoors.

I have noticed a fall off in mask wearing where I live too. Initially most still wore masks, now it is below 50%.
I don't particularly feel offended by someone not wearing a mask, I don't feel vulnerable. I wear my mask still, because I don't know how secure others feel in the shop I am going in to.

Now with masks, I'm starting to think WTF am I doing trying to protect the folk that don't wear them, but then I just think well, at least I'm helping the other 50% of mask wearers.
The additional benefit is it might keep the cases down, which means everyone can be allowed out for a beer or 10, which stops some of the whinging about lockdowns, masks, vaccines etc.
We're nearly passed this now though, and where as masks might have bene a 20% benefit (or some random number), it may now only be 2% because of added immunity.

Funny you should say that. I've noticed that none of the staff at the swimming baths I take my daughter to for lessons are wearing them anymore. I've even seem police officers occasionally over the past few weeks in their cars/vans not wearing them either. You notice those not wearing them now a lot more than this time last year.

I suspect they're will be a tipping point where people will feel silly wearing masks because very few will be.

My point been if we have the likes of police officers not wearing them or council staff then the general public aren't going to bother either. All our front of house staff at work wear a face covering whilst on shift (voluntarily may I add) as you don't want to upset anybody who may still be wary of things.
