It depends because schools will break up but then we’ll fully relax all restrictions which could lead to further case rises anyway. 

quite honestly oz .... I dont think what we have left in terms of restrictions seems to be doing much now ....  we are going to get herd immunity by default through infection of the young plus vaccines .......  nightclubs I guess will make some difference but plenty of these people will be mixing in homes under group of 6 rules and likely without now anyway

But a Department of Health spokesman said: “We do not recognise this story and do not know where it has come from.”

 

I guess after all what’s happened, if they aren’t drawing up plans with options, they would be (even more) negligent.

Yeah I'd rather they has some plans in place a day options. Hopefully though the political will won't be there to lock us up again.

Well yeah but that's still useful as a comparator

The Nightingale hospitals would have been ideal right about now for the current increase in admissions, as the patients are less critical and require much less intensive treatment in the majority of cases.

Government spokespersons deny stories all the time, they wouldn’t admit this outright. As you say though it’s likely they do have plans in place or at least should do.

If this is the case the music industry is fucked. I still don't believe we'll have indoor gigs this winter but I never even considered the future ones!

It will be if health care services can't cope

Yeah, government spokespeople deny things until they are ready to speak. Newspapers also make shit up for clicks then plonk a government denial way down the article, past the point where lots of people have already stopped reading! It’s hard to tell isn’t it. 

I’d like to think our shitshow of a government are considering all options and possibilities but I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t!

Newspapers often briefed by someone in or close to government who has an agenda. I'm sure there are plans to have restrictions if things go tits up...but we'll just have to see how it goes.

Well that's why hopefully these plans will be resisted this winter. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile

But no matter what, if health services are overwhelmed we'll have restrictions so they can keep running...otherwise we're effectively a failed state and the public will punish the govt at the polling booth. Don't think this will happen because the vaccines probably good enough, but it's not as if they won't have restrictions no matter what.

the point I was trying to make are that the Tory party are going to be mostly wanting to open things up .... there arent gonna be many of them that will want things closed up ... it doesnt fit with them

Depends by what you mean by overwhelmed. I dkosee that point but expanding health care capacity is MUCH better option

We’re going to get a load more leaks and contrasting stories over the next 10 days or so. Let’s just all take a deep breath, watch the Glastonbury iPlayer stuff/football/Wimbledon and see what happens on the 12th.
