No I can't. It's too many people. It's a joke.

Tell that to theatres and nightclubs or 21 year olds who can't enjoy themselves
Sit in the garden in the nice weather? Ive managed to see my parents and brothers family plenty of times recently for a BBQ, out doors..

Theatres and night clubs need more support. They are not an urgent requirement to reopen. Cinemas and pubs are providing plenty of entertainment for people currently. But the above definitely need more financial help if they are to stay closed longer.
 
I genuinely can’t believe after three lockdowns and 15 months we still have people blaming others for transmission of an airborne endemic virus.

I’m not saying there’s nothing people can do to mitigate spread but for Christ sake, the incessant shaming of the public is tedious now. Would be nice if people placed our dear leaders under such scrutiny and not young people.
 
Great

People like you are the reason why we'll never be clear of lockdowns

Not just that though. The reason we'll never be clear is because governments are scared and the media stir crazy for the slightest of changes.

Somebody meeting 8 people inside isn't going to make it any worse than meeting in a six. There's no logic.

Confused here, surely the logic is the more people effected the more people they can spread it too?

Look, we aren't in lockdown. Life is probably as back to normal as it is ever going to be.

But we do need to keep on taking steps and not be crapping ourselves at every opportunity.

If the data suggests another spike then it's better to be safe than sorry for a month and get more people vaccinated. But it's what happens after that.

Yes, but there's no arbitrary cut-off between 6 and 8, is my point.

COVID's not going 'oh there's only six of them, I can't spread' but having a field day if a seventh turns up.

The rule of six isn't based in science, let's put it that way.

It’s the balance that has been struck. 8 people obviously poses more risk than 6, just as 6 poses more risk than 1, but 6 has been agreed as a practical number which allows most people to meet their family and friends whilst keeping numbers reduced as much as possible, without losing too much public adherence.
 
So how many people exactly who are fully vaxed are getting it, dying? If it's like twenty percent surely there's nothing more we can do

I know why, but still, it's not based on anything scientific
 
Unfortunately its extremely unlikely that this extension will end up being 30 days. It will be extended into August and then extended again so that its safer for children to able to go to school. My prediction is that we'll be at this stage (or lockdown) until May 2022.
That’s a really bad case scenario, cannot see that happening as businesses will go down and hospitality, a major provider to the economy will die.

By May the vaccines will be done already. It cannot go on that long, especially with mental health been bashed so many times.
