If the leaking at this late stage is driven by Spaffer then it can only be because the announcement tomorrow will please the public more than these leaks.

Or testing the waters for last minute tweaks.

And/or certain Ministers trying to prep their contacts in the media?

August for holidays is a joke

Why? There’s already talks underway with different countries about how it can work. Can see them happening earlier than that tbh.

edit: sorry, I see you mean it’s too late, not too early 😂

It’s true, but I don’t think there have been any outbreaks linked to gyms and now we know more about how this spreads (ie aerosols not by touch) then unless you’re stood right next to someone breathing mid set it’s a low risk. 

True. I don’t really have a dog in this fight - actually that’s not true, I’ll definitely go to a pub before I go to a gym - but can imagine those are the kind of things being tossed around.

Supermarkets are open and cases are falling - suggests non essential retail can be safe. 

If it's outdoors only what's the real difference between going for a beer outside or going for a walk outside?

 

people get drunk and stop being so careful?

Yep I get that, but people break the rules, people get too close in supermarkets etc.. etc...

I'm sure they will have air bridges again before this from late June. 

 

[Fuzzy Afro]

So to clarify:

 

Kent variant - Transmission advantage but the vaccines work effectively

SA variant - No transmission advantage, vaccines less effective against the sniffles but still prevent serious illness

[themuel]

Am I likely to be able to have a weekend away in the UK (distanced etc etc) Easter weekend? 
 

I'm assuming it’s a big fat no, but I’m looking and my brain can’t process any more dates at the moment.

Once things start to open back up I don’t think I can take another 6 months of the “here comes the third wave” big garden brigade. They’re as bad as the Bill Gates microchip truthers.
