Are you campaigning at every stage of opening ? I thought you said you would be happy once we got to meet friends again ... which has now happened ? not long till non essential retail either ..

Yeah, I'm starting to think Johnson is not going to change roadmap now. It's working, and he's polling well.

think they are polling well enough .... they might have had that as a backup .... but I think the roadmap is being stuck to like it or not

Of course I’m happy that I can meet friends again however this is separate to the fact that what we can’t do currently isn’t proportionate to where we are going by data or the vaccine programme. Especially in regards to things which are either outside based or indoors but with enough mitigating factors to render the risk extremely low.

If anything the way things are going is backing up the roadmap, you wouldn't like it if we had to go back a step. The 5 weeks in between steps are in place for a reason and we are approaching the next review period which will decide whether we can press ahead with step 2, we can't rush it.

Plenty of areas in GM that have stubbornly refused to drop cases:

those dates were always the earliest that we could move to next stage, if data was good. That's how it is. Not sure Johnson is going to change course now. So, it looks at data on a certain date, if we meet criteria then move to next stage.

Chris Whitty says 25,000 people dead is a price worth paying to go down the pub!

166000 cancer deaths per year.

Flu about 20000.

There will be some cross over so 25000 extra deaths isnt quite as extreme as it first reads as in we all die of something.

To make sure people are used to it when vaccine passports are implemented. No actual benefit now, just a bit of good old behavioural manipulation

Would be good if gym members were taken out judging by some of the overentitled comments i've seen.

Yup

Makes me chuckle how the anti vaccine passport people seem okay with this.

I'm not OK with it at all- but I accept its an inevitability (and permanent) that they're coming in. Wish I had the willpower to just never use mine but I doubt that'll happen. 

That said it might not be a problem if they dont even open - he keeps saying this....
