Life got slower, people listened their own self and its all good tho

I'm surprised its only 4 out of 10. unless you took on or increased your exercise - how would you not put on weight

If this is true then that is less of a drop off than I’d have expected

Think it depends on the setting. Locally supermarkets and shops have pretty decent mask numbers. Places like pubs, restaurants and cinema have almost zero mask wearing now from what I have seen.

‘They think it’s all over’

i guess the 'it is now' (cases falling) will be 10 days or so after 'freedom day',

Let's wait until daily cases drop to below 1,000 a day (as they almost did in early May) before we all start virtually patting each other on the back

I'm patting in person without a mask as we speak! Just people down the street!

We were virtually fully open for 9 weeks before 19th July. Cases rose sharply. We had the Euros in that time so hopefully any potential effects from removing all domestic restrictions won't see too much of a spike (hopefully it has already happened). Also more and more vaccinations given.

I will be amazed if it continues to fall as sharply, but fingers crossed we are on the way down in general.

I think we all have to accept that there will be waves of cases spiking and then decreasing, mate. For a variety of reasons.

It also seems to just be how this virus works. If there's an outbreak in one area, then that will cause a localised spike followed by a national spike but, as we've seen recently, the hospitalisations will probably be also localised.

The aim is for COVID to become like flu and the common cold. We don't go around trying to get cases of flu and the common cold below a 1,000 a day mate, in a country of 68m.

I thought it would be rocketing this week and, as you say, it probably will plateau at some point but look good if it carries in for a few weeks

From my own experiences of the population, I'd have thought it was more than 50% who've put some weight on.
