Re: Summer Solstice Unlockdown
Do the five of us who voted correctly in the poll win a prize? A double mask goodie bag?

Need to restart the poll for the next deadline.
I'm still betting on another lockdown before Christmas. Maybe two.

Re: Summer Solstice Unlockdown
I still think "the virus will have another serious wave and relockdown will be required" but of course the government can't relockdown again, it barely wanted to postpone unlockdowning.
11,007 new cases today in the UK.

Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty according to the words of Professor Chris Whitty:
So what's happening now, going up again because of Delta, is actually the "exit wave"? That's not a thing.... my expectation is that we will get a further winter surge, late autumn/winter surge.
...
So therefore we’ll get the current wave, an exit wave, and then I do think most people think that there will be further problems over the winter.

Re: Summer Solstice Unlockdown
It won't be a lockdown it'll be red zones where there's high prevalence until practically all of the country is a red zone but still it's not a national lockdown.

If there are no more lockdowns amidst surging third and fourth waves the NHS will founder. Staff are burnt out and many are thinking of leaving, to the EU, to America, to Australia.

It's not technically 'foreign' travel (yet) but the hordes of Scots descending on Central London this morning and by now heading for Wembley can't bode well. The ones I saw mid morning were already too close and too drunk (nice kilts though).

Re: Summer Solstice Unlockdown
UK could have lockdown by stealth this summer
There's also (the google mirror of) the daily mail on the same story:

Yes, that's the point of contact tracing. Although it may be the case that vaccinated people who test negative should be allowed out of self isolation, maybe if people could afford to self isolate in the first place you wouldn't be having a new wave now. (There'll be "30-40,000 cases per day" next week).Dr Kucharski told BBC Radio 4’s World At One programme: “If we get to a situation over the summer where there’s 30-40,000 cases per day you’ll be potentially looking at maybe even over a million contacts per day who may be eligible for quarantine.
“In situations where you’re quarantining large numbers of people you do end up with similar outcomes to lockdown.

The British Medical Association (BMA) said that keeping some protective measures in place was “crucial” to stop spiralling cases numbers having a “devastating impact” on people’s health, the NHS, the economy and education.shpalman wrote: ↑Thu Jul 01, 2021 2:05 pmYour total final irreversible unlockdown will come with some extra precautions

Re: Summer Solstice Unlockdown
I was talking with a friend a few days ago and we said that we'd carry on wearing a mask on public transport and in shops even though we've both been double-vaxxed, based on our own research, so it's interesting to hear the BMA say the same thing.shpalman wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:08 amThe British Medical Association (BMA) said that keeping some protective measures in place was “crucial” to stop spiralling cases numbers having a “devastating impact” on people’s health, the NHS, the economy and education.shpalman wrote: ↑Thu Jul 01, 2021 2:05 pmYour total final irreversible unlockdown will come with some extra precautions

Trousers will become personal choice says whoever the hell this guy is.
I mean, I've gotten used to being at home and not having to wear trousers, it's annoying that I have to wear them to go out or go to work.
