Certainly not saying I agree with the statement, mine was more a general comment that actually could quite easily be applied to the government depending on what happens over the next few weeks.
As a general statement, sure.
But in these specific circumstances, to suggest that the govt *wants* to keep lockdown in place is stretching credulity beyond breaking point I think, when they'll get all the plaudits for emerging, and a lot of flak if they don't.
Personally the lifting of restrictions in June wouldn’t have made a massive difference to me. But my kids have festivals and gigs booked over the summer, and it’s disappointing and sad that this probably won’t happen. And for those in the events industry it must be a real kick in the teeth. It’s not the end of the world. But it is frustrating as it was so avoidable if people had just done as they were asked and stayed in the UK.
36+ now up on the jabs if you're that age. Just missed it by two months! Gah. Hopefully v soon though.

The actions of a few will ruin it for the many. But also you have to question why flights were not shut down sooner. Cases in Australia and New Zealand are very low with no incidences of the Indian Variant as there are very few flights in and out of India and those that are running are strictly controlled with enforced quarantine. I know we are much more connected that those two countries. But we have been down this path before and you could see what was going to happen with India.Personally the lifting of restrictions in June wouldn’t have made a massive difference to me.

38 & 39 were announced 6 days ago.
So hopefully 34 & 35 will be < 1 week and we'll be into the under 30's in a month.
Just seen the update on the NHS app, all good as far as I’m concerned.The Covid Vaccination Status part of the NHS app is now up and running. It shows dates, type and batch number of vaccine delivered and there is a QR code. The worrying part is gives my date of birth and then has under it Expiration Date: June 21st 2021. Looks like I've not got long left.
The different myGP TICKet version on the myGP app is still under maintenance.
