Only watched last night briefing once(might change my thoughts on a second viewing).
Having slept on it can't help think this is a setup to reduce accountability going forward.
When(if?) it all goes wrong we will get the well we wanted to let the people take back responsibility and you let us down.
I don't know the right answer but do agree we have a window over the summer.
Schools shut(they are a big problem when open), case rates in 10-19 age group are higher than only 2 of the peak weeks sitting at 75% of peak week
I think we are hearing the schools proposals today
20-29 are higher than 6 of the peek weeks sitting at 45% of peak week
(week old data so expect those to go up)
clear message avoid school kids and young adults.
Also probably worth trying the contacts isolate on positive test with compulsory testing OR isolate.
All for the retention of mask on public transport and public building especially NHS establishments.
I would also like to see social distance measure retained in hospitality, screens don't take up a lot of room
pubs having a free for all, no masks, return to standing, order at bar are going to need to be avoided.
(we go when it is not busy so should be ok if they keep table service)
Any relaxed measures do give those areas that are still under a bit of control a chance to catch up with the higher rate areas.
My small local area has gone from 30-200/100k in a week trying to play catchup.
(not got a breakdown by age but suspect youngsters we have plenty of families in the 10k that live here)
even the scotish island s that were covid free have lost that status.
