Delta looks to be taking off elsewhere now 

Really unfair to use facts against Fake SAGE when they want to rant against the Tories

The starting point is noticeably different though.

Indeed, it’s not exactly a ringing endorsement of the UK’s handling of this stage of the pandemic.

Cases are doubling at the moment with masks.  Its such an empty view point.

Maybe because as you have said lots of people aren’t wearing them … so yeah that would make them pretty ineffective … or people not wearing them correctly ? Perhaps the govt should have given clear advice

Continued deceleration, tantalisingly close to the tipping point of reducing, but we're not there yet, sadly. I suspect we probably won't get case reductions before "freedom day", which should be called "COVID boost day"

Surprised the spacing between doses still is 8 weeks, talk of it coming down to 4 didn't materialise due to stocks, so why not 5/6/7 weeks? no great urgency in the roll out anymore

Yeah a great cricket club 

Was really proud to volunteer there for the World Cup. Great ground. I also used to come up for winter nets in 1984 😂

I've got my second jab today. 7 weeks to the hour since the first one.

Are nightclubs normally busy during August?  I guess they may well be this summer though!

The clubbing industry was really struggling pre covid for a number of years - but with very few festivals on this year and after such a long time being closed, I would expect that within the younger generation they are going to see a huge surge in business.

On a personal level I'm looking forward to getting to one, but i won't be going until I've had at least mu second jab. They are petri dishes at the best of times, let alone now.

Wife reaches 8 weeks exactly today. Text through, no jab available until 31 july 🙄 walk in centre tomorrow it is

Noticing a few cancellations coming in for next week. Not massive numbers but enough that it's noticeable. Would guess the lack of clarity isn't helping and some people not feeling as confident to come away as they were. With the weather forecast looking so good it's unusual to see the number of cancellations otherwise

"Freedom Day" is starting to look very much like the last 15 months - fucking shite

What exactly are you moaning about?

We are moving ahead with most if not all restrictions lifted, still with huge case numbers. Which specific elements of 'freedom day' aren't up to you loft standards?

They haven't got the vaccine levels we have.  You are not comparing like for like.

Not a massive difference in my opinion based on the figures below.  You may disagree.  

Partly vaccinated: Netherlands = 26%, UK = 16%

Fully vaccinated: Netherlands = 39%, UK = 51%

Total: Netherlands = 65%, UK = 67%

100 crew on a Navy ship infected despite being double jabs. Wonder if this is a kinda natural experiment that backs up @Toilet Duck’s point we may be overestimating the vaccines effect on stopping transmission?
