I really don’t know exactly what is changing next week tbh

Personally, I am a bit queasy at the new rules here from next week. But you know the reason why.

But other than masks in shops, and SD, and limits on fans at games, it seems to be "unlock".

Makes me even more glad that my parents who live there have had their jabs - no covid test seems like asking for trouble tbh even with the currently low levels of UK rates.

Covid: What is the guidance across the UK now?

Almost all of the UK's Covid rules have ended, two years after they were introduced.

Seems a little hasty I mean I don’t see anyone being put off going if they needed a Covid test.

Btw am all for opening and certain travel to be allowed but am I bit surprised by this.

They’ve been letting German tourists in for a good few weeks now and Germany ( sauerkraut republic ) are in a much much worse state than us.

I really don’t know exactly what is changing next week tbh Dave, find it hard enough to keep track of the rules here in California!

Keeping simple measure like masks on kids, especially given that they and their parents are likely to be in the unvaccinated groups. would appear to have low cost/high reward impacts whilst we get more data.

Opening up indoor dining I think is more complicated as like you I believe it an important transmission vector but there are obviously significant social benefits to restrictions being at least partially relaxed. Perhaps local restrictions still being in place for those with confirmed outbreaks like Bolton?

The restrictions will be removed for indoor dining and drinking from 17th May.

That has to be on hold for hospitality in at least Sefton Borough and Bolton. If not, there will be a surge that engulfs Merseyside / Gtr Manchester. The local MP for Bolton is asking for emergency use of the vaccines to get everyone in the town over 16 vaccinated in the next week or so.

Thanks, know I am going to flunk with that ”kids don’t count in numbers but do in number of households” fine print!

California being a bit more cautious, done at county level with mine likely going from orange to yellow in next couple of weeks

Similar isnt it?

Main difference I can see is the 50% capacity limit on a lot of indoor stuff whereas Uk seeming to go more for # of households mixing.

Sure, but essentially, its tinkering about, when the messages we have had for a year plus are still important.

But they have the data that we dont have, so we can just hope it works. Think it will, but not in a straight line.

Ridiculously busy in the gym I go to tonight. If an outbreak is going to start anywhere in the UK it will start in the gyms.

Was going to comment this earlier. I go to a large gym in south Liverpool, no masks or social distancing, but I can’t have a pint indoors

Might be the same one if its the new JD one.

I do find it strange being surrounded by hundreds without a mask and then having to put a mask on to go the asda next door.
