Agree mate, right now it isn't, but best to take it careful, carry on doing what we're doing and stick to the plan.
Yep, Covid is no longer the leading cause of death in the U.K.

As good news as it is, we do need to be vigilant, especially on June 21st onwards.

There were 98 Covid admissions in England on 16th April (most recent available data) following 138, 112, 135, 148, 127. 156, 153 in the week before. The vaccines are working.
 
Hospital figures - 25 deaths were announced today, down 3 on yesterday and down 9 on last Thursday. 22 deaths were in English hospitals, down 3 on yesterday and down 6 on last week. The 7 day rolling average falls to an even 23

All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 18 deaths were announced today, down 2 on yesterday and down 12 on last Thursday. The 7 day rolling average falls to an even 22

For the 60 day cut off, 34 deaths were announced today, down 39 on yesterday and down 21 on last Thursday. The 7 day rolling average falls to 54.57
 
If the numbers remain similar over the next couple of weeks it looks pretty certain that we shall be opening up the inside of pubs on the 17th May. It’s been a real learning curve for our staff and for the logistics of operating so much outside and to Covid standards, but they’ve done a great job......
It's as simple as this: this is as good as it gets.

Fatalities right down, going into the better months weather-wise, benefit of the suppression of the just ended lockdown, vaccine coverage reaching well down into the population.

But when the time arrives for indoor dining and drinking and when large indoor events happen, it starts going in the opposite direction.

The reason we have scores of the Indian variant right now is only because the environment for it to catch fire in isn't here...yet.

You'd have to be completely thick not to realise that another summer like the last one - in conditions where we have variants like the UK Virus, the Indian VOC and the SA VOC which have a far higher transmission rate than the strain here last summer - will result in a calamitous autumn.

The hubris on display by some in this thread is appalling.

Modelling is not "a wild guess".

Just across the channel they are in the teeth of a deadly 3rd wave.

Stay in la-la land if you want. But this summer will be carnage if the restrictions are taken off by late June.

Well what a surprise, the goal posts being moved ( again )
