How big a gap is that?

Just over 9 weeks.

The question just now was key, 'What do you expect people to do from next week?'

Johnson hasn't really got a clue, he's proper muddled things now.

We need to go slow and steady apparently

We should wear face masks in crowded setting but they don't want to put the measures in place that will mean more will do that. Cracking job Johnson.

I don't understand what that allegedly equates to in real life. Are any restrictions remaining?

That was what the reporter was getting at, sadly Johnson couldn't clear anything up.

Surely there's no way we are hosting a tournament any time soon.

Only with self isolating and travel.

But, we need to proceed with caution, and take things slowly and steadily. Ok?

Nice to see you reduced to your single word replies as you have nothing to say, nothing at all worth hearing.

Move on old chap, go back to your life, or even better get a life and enjoy it rather than having to make one up for the internet.

Can't wait for the next hilarious reply from you.

Love and Peace

I wonder what places like the Odeon etc do off the back of this?

Do they just leave up to the responsibility of Joe public ? Ask for certification or cram everyone in with masks ?

That pretty much says implement it willingly or we'll make it mandatory

Women's Euros next year, opener in Old Trafford, final at Wembley. Well priced

"The vaccine certification plan, in which venues will be “supported and encouraged” by government to use the NHS app to check up on their customers, was the most concrete sign of a change of tack.

A review of Covid certification had been carried out by the Cabinet Office under Michael Gove, but ministers had concluded previously that the scheme would not be immediately necessary, and should be held in reserve for the autumn.

Instead, with only a week to go until mass events in England will be allowed to go ahead, and venues such as nightclubs can reopen, the prime minister’s official spokesman said the government would be in touch with businesses to encourage them to implement Covid checks at the door.

Javid suggested customers could either show that they have been double-vaccinated, or had a positive PCR test within the past six months – or could carry out a lateral flow test and show the email they received after reporting a negative result.

The events industry is likely to respond with exasperation at being given such short notice to implement the scheme. The PM’s spokesman stressed it was already “up and running” because it had been tried at a series of pilot events."

Can't see how events / festivals would see this as a total surprise approach and you'd think most would have considered that in their plans. The app would do most of the accreditation work for them and really its just the dealing with those who turn up without the requirements that they'll have to factor in I'd guess.

I'd be more comfortable going to an event if it were done this way but it wouldn't define my whole evening if they didn't 

I’m for it and I hope it happens. What I’ve noticed is that many countries are nervous to do it “first”.

Was supposed to be in place at Wembley yesterday but no-one even asked.

I think its more "crowded city cente pubs", nightclubs etc. They could've done with slightly more notice! 

[Pinhead]

Nope, probably wouldn't be as quick true. Would it slow it down unacceptably - maybe not. People will be keen enough to put up with that as a price to get back in I expect; arrive earlier etc.

Anyone else just dreading the rest of this year now? This has had the opposite effect on me than I thought it would. an inevitable longer set of restrictions is all I can see in the future, and a repeat of this year next year around the booster jabs to get a summer

I think the key is to get out and enjoy it as much as you can while you can.

I think one of the problems is that it's mostly the 18 - 30s catching covid now which then means they can't be vaccinated for a month (I think it's a month). My daughter and her boyfriend both caught it a few weeks ago and they were due to be vaccinated the following day 😭

Could have got mine in time for 2 weeks before Latitude but couldn't due to isolating. I've been one of the most cautious in my circles but tbh  now more people i know have had covid, I am more relaxed about the risks of going to a festival. I'm willing to be more selfish and take a risk despite the initial stress I felt recently 😕 Good will gets worn down. If I were going to a football match people would be happy for me but if it goes wrong at a festival I'm selfish?

Oh absolutely that's the plan but yep indoors in winter is the concern. Just feeling this air of inevitability around it all now.

Ha I agree - that seems to be the general thoughts on it!

Well, it is uncertain. They are forecasting this wave to peak mid August but NHS should cope, but there are a lot of unknowns as depends on people's behaviour without rules to follow. Then there could be further problems in autumn and winter with all sorts of respiratory viruses, but again, lots of unknowns.
