I'm surprised at the talk of getting rid of masks - for places the vulnerable HAVE to go it should probably say (supermarkets, public transport). There's an argument that maybe not pubs, but then again if there's enough of a problem groups need to be worried, is releasing things to the extent being talked about even a good idea at all?

Early days but it's looking good across the board now

I can certainly understand keeping masks on public transport. It’s unavoidable and puts people in close proximity, often for a sustained period of times. Shops and pubs seem less of an issue to me.

About fucking time.

It's been increasingly obvious that they could and should have stuck to June 21st. Which itself was entirely predictable.

It says he's going to 'outline plans' for certain things such as 1 meter rule and WFH. That sounds like they might be amended but not necessarily scrapped completely?

Papers gave been briefed that social distancing is being ended. I dont see how it can retained and still have 'freedom'

 

WFH may be caveated I can seen and same with masks. But distancing needs to be in the bin asap

Maybe I'm reading too much into the actual wording used in that press release, I probably have done it just jumped out to me whilst reading it.

I wonder if they will keep various aspects like recommending WFH.

Apparently WFH guidance remaining, and travel restrictions not changing, not yet anyway

My dad works for Natwest and they've been told to get ready for blended working so essentially working from home but going out for meetings if they were important, I could see many other places taking that on board too

My place of work is planning for something like that after the pandemic.

My place has pretty much gone back to how it was. I've been going into office 2 or 3 days a week.

That’s how I’m meant to work, but not been able to for the last 12 months.

You know I was posting loads of profound and thought provoking posts related to the latest unlocking news, then realized I was on sone thread about Johnny Marr.

Interesting they're considering vaccine passports if hospitalisations get too bad, perhaps this is a genuine sign we won't lock down again and therefore he'll keep his irreversible promise

They will if it gets real bad.

That last tweet in that thread by Newton-Dunn says a lot about state of play..bit risky but politically necessary.
