The numbers from the virus surveillance from the ONS are not good, they show ~8,700 new infections per day over the last 2 weeks in the general population (hospitals and care homes are excluded). Track and trace has little chance of succeeding with these kind of numbers and a further relaxation of the lockdown can easily cause an increase.
At 'present' 0.25% of our population is infected, most other European countries have significantly lower numbers.
The decision to come out of lockdown fully has already been made. We have to remain economically competitive with the rest of the world and to hell with public health. Sage will report what Cummings asks them to
We went into lockdown 2 weeks too late, failed to impose a tough enough lockdown, and broke it too soon.
If this was a war, Boris Johnson is guilty of a war crime. Yet, thanks to the slavish support of most of the UK media, he gets away with it and the morons still cheer his name from the rooftops
And we have a hard Brexit to come in a few months time!
I gave up on this stupid country last year. I am now just hanging around to watch it implode
