When will this shit end?

[Chapple12345]

This plan seems very reasonable and gives some much needed hope in these times, glad they seem to be taking it cautiously and realistically this time

I just rage quit the news when IDS started waffling about Boris’ incredibly brave decision to order vaccines. Uuuggghh do one mate.

Perhaps we should do a daily countdown on this thread 🙂

So they think ANY easing of restrictions at any point is going to lead to a much bigger peak in September than spring? 

Ah apparently we should be looking at the lines not the big peaks which is worst case scenario 

Still looks quite high though..

Summer solstice that day as well.

I'm going to book the day off and watch the sunrise at Glastonbury Tor if anyone else fancies it?

So we can close this thread June 21 if all things go as planned? It’s been a journey, but I’m sure we will all be glad to see the back of this thread 

When will when will this shit end? end?

Key is the line, not the higher / lower reaches of the confidence factors. Scenarios 3 & 4 both have lower than spring 2020 peak

Asked about the dodgy contracts that have been handed out - did anyone hear an actual reply?

The strict use of ‘at least’ makes it seem very unlikely that there will be any brining forward of the 5 week review before moving through the stages. 

Disagree with that. I reckon that's partly covering themselves, and partly so they can claim success if they go early - In all honesty I'll be surprised if they don't lift at least some if not all of the restrictions currently pencilled for June 21st early.

I'm surprised to say that I'm not horrified by Johnson today. All I asked for was some kind of coherent plan that wasn't based on arbitrary dates, which they seem to have delivered. Wasn't expecting it to be perfect, which it isn't, and it relies massively on Johnson not being bullied by his own backbenchers or the press and actually sticking to the guidelines they've sent for themselves, but there's actually a pathway now.

Obviously as soon as it comes to responding to Starmer rather than reading off his script he turns back into an absolute scrotum, but can't have everything.

END OF THE ROAD HERE I COME.

Also have they announced any furlough / business support  stuff yet or are they doing the usual stick of letting business bite their nails for a few days before rishi comes out and gloats for half an hour before throwing a few pennies to the peasants.

Yeah they can always move things from steps

Is it 17th May or 21st June inside pubs as a lot of papers/news wires are saying different to each other.

well, hate to say it cause he's a massive c**t...but he's in a pretty good place politically I reckon, vaccines have come to the rescue.

For a plan "driven by data not dates" there seems to be a lot of dates.
