Personally I would go with the professionals hmg employs. If it has to go back then I would go with it. Imo there are some very clever people employed to do what's best in our interests. Both for health and economical reasons. I have fortunately not been affected financially and but was amongst it when it was at its height, possibly around infected people by working in residential properties. If I were affected financially I may think different granted but I wasn't. How would you feel danh.

The thing is, how much difference is the 21st going to make? People can go to the pub, can go to work, can go anywhere. My little boy when to Thorpe Park yesterday and it was heaving.

Outside of the rules regarding masks, what else actually changes that much? Maybe sporting events might still have limited numbers but probably only until the end of the month.

What is pissing me off at the moment is the quarantine restrictions on return. Got tickets booked for July and am starting to worry I wont be able to get down to Croatia. Selfish, probably but I am indifferent to this 21st date.

What professionals exactly? Sounds like you’re desperate to absolve the government of any blame whatsoever.

Personally, I’d be fuming, as should everyone. Mistakes are excusable, even more so in a fast changing, high pressure environment, but what is not forgivable is failing to learn from your mistakes. If June 21 gets pushed back it’s purely because of the spread of the Indian variant. A stringent border/quarantine policy that should have been put in place at the very start of this pandemic, and *still* isn’t would have kept us on track.

The Euros is bad timing for them. A lot of people looking forward to watching games in pubs without any restrictions and in full capacity stadiums following June 21.

Edit: huge for the hospitality/indoor entertainment industries as well to have all restrictions lifted and to be able to operate at full capacity.

It is inevitable that the relaxation of lockdown will increase the number of cases.

There are still lots of people who have not had their first jab, and they represent a large proportion of those hospitalized in Bolton ad all the other areas with very large Asian populations.

Case count isn’t the issue. Intensive care and hospital capacity are the issue.

100k case count and minimal hospital cases - no problem

Not trying to absolve anyone although I think we would still be in lockdown under labour which is my opinion on how they are more knee jerky than boris.
If deaths don't rise then there is no reason not to open up as planned. If this pandemic had a usable precident I would be firing off at hmg but it doesn't. Every one has had to be reactionary around the world. So if we had quarantined all visitors at what cost I might ask; we would be in a better place, guaranteed. Primarily though if people had stuck to the rules and also taken a jab when offered instead of refusing we would be in a better place as well. You have though proved the point i made on another post about nothing to the right is agreeable to you as you seem to think hmg doesn't have one professional.

They all shout NHS from the rooftops whilst they slowly destroy it.
Top heavy admin doesn't help matters either.
Bloody shame!

Not really

The original reductions in bed numbers were reasonable and represented higher efficiency in asset usage. The continuing reductions were totally unwarranted, especially at a time of increasing demand.

We wouldn’t

We also would have had a firebreak instead of a third lockdown

Crises need firm and rapid responses

That is great spinning even by your standards.
