What a load of bollocks, 83% aren’t even wearing a face mask today. 
 

Who fills out these Yougov polls? 😆😆

Probably the same 100 people they survey for Family Fortunes

I think it’s dependant on which area of the country you are in ? I’d say it’s about right for where I am … but doubt it’s accurate for late at night or cities

Is that some down arrows I see? Seems to be decelerating in most boroughs too.

Cases might start going down just in time for the turbo charge of the next unlocking!

Its an interesting way of making 83percent. It would possibly be more honest to say 40percent would wear a mask as rules stand now.

This is completely reckless reporting

Again, the people who we’re previously pushing the vaccine are now starting to sound a lot like vaccine denialists. I guess it’s because it’s no longer the correct narrative. We must now talk about the vaccines as if they don’t do shit.

Fickle, reckless, and political.

I don't think it'll be today as it hasn't been 3 weeks (I know it feels like it!) but the way they're describing it some of the green list countries could change at any moment

I was thinking more about rules for amber list countries for fully vaccinated people...as it's getting reported in a few papers...

A nightmare in what way? Just out of interest, not being shitty. 

One thing I don't get is how it works with families with children. Are children automatically exempt from quarantine?

A colleague of mine has just been to Greece for two weeks and tested her way out of the quarantine on return (it's on amber list). I'm guessing people who can afford to will still do this.

Part for the reasons you mention as kids won't be double vaxxed, plus all the extra testing on top, also will it have to be checked and followed up if you haven't been double jabbed?

they need a way to check fully vaccinated people internationally...could take a while to get a proper working system set up I imagine.

That’s surprising, given that the students will already have gone home a couple of weeks ago.

Went and got my second Pfizer dose yesterday (and my free ice cream). We can now walk in with no appointment 6 weeks after our first dose of Pfizer (8 for AZ).

Now to sort my temporary vaccine certificate and hopefully I should be all set for Galway in August @Toilet Duck 😁

If its the same as Liverpool the students have not gone home. They are getting their moneys worth while there is no lockdown after spending so long cooped up.
