The masks alone won’t make a huge difference although they offer useful protection for other people. It was more the populist messaging about “freedom day” etc that did for the restrictions in many areas well before they have been officially relaxed.
FWIW, a lot across both sides of the Pennines I noticed more ignoring of the rules on trains in the North West and that’s probably indicative of the bigger case numbers.
The Delta variant is both more contagious and more evasive. As soon as you exhaust the scope of vaccination, the only way to stop the spread is through the spread, everything else just affects the rate. Only through the spread it also evolves, and through treatment of some patients too. It will come to an end imo when our immunity gets upgraded. The only way to stop a self-replicating molecule spreading between hosts is when the hosts prevent it from replicating. Distance between hosts, and cloth barriers between hosts just modulates the rate. It keeps it at bay for a while. But ultimately we need to develop our immunity. Either through science or through infection. It will happen whatever we say.The masks alone won’t make a huge difference although they offer useful protection for other people.

No it didn’t Marvin. The strict isolation facilities and procedures in Wuhan did most of that.Herd immunity wiped out the Wuhan virus. The alpha variant is also on the ropes.
Immunity is key to how this ends but it took until the alpha variant came along to realise that we were dealing with a moving target and how it moves is key to all this. We need to move to. Because we can no longer talk about immunity as if it is black and white. It's not the case that we are 100% immune or 0% immune. It's a grey area,getting greyer. Anyone can bring a virus home with them, and vaccinated or not the whole household is now vulnerable.
This wave will crash when immunity levels reach the level they need to in all groups and then to finish the whole thing off we'll need another vaccine otherwise that immunity gets eroded.
They'll be plenty of fights tomorrow night,,got my popcorn readyboris is a twat but he hasn’t come up with the term Freedom Day.
That is a word invented by the media and stuck.
it’s a shit phrase which divides society (which they seem to like to nowadays) for those who want to say it’s over and get back to normal from Monday and others to use it as an example of reckless term and govt are being reckless too quickly eliminating all restrictions In one go.
Pick a side and FIGHT!!!
Regardless of that, it’s quite obvious it’s one rule for them. They didn’t mention anything about the scheme yesterday when the story broke about Javid and the potential requirement of isolation for Boris and the rest, funny that.It's not a new scheme its been in place in JLR since Feb.
I’m going to do a lateral flow later and see, I’ve been selected to become part of my own pilot scheme.Hope you test negative soon ,,I'll be interested to see how the health Secretary comes through it ?
Well well well. What a surprise.
Having read the article I bet PMQs won’t count as essential government business but dressing up in high vis and doing factory visits will!!
It was actually Jan and isn't a secret numerous companies have been involved.Regardless of that, it’s quite obvious it’s one rule for them.
