I personally think this is sensible. Get the vast majority of adults their second vaccines and then lift restrictions. (obviously keeping an eye on data)

I know the general public have been very patient with this and some are going to stamp their feet and sqwwweem and sqwwweem about freedoms etc but aside from having to wear masks and social distance there is plenty we can do. (aside from going abroad, which is a luxury anyway)

I of course feel massively for people that struggle with mental health issues and really crave normality and hope that this disappointing news doesn't have negative effects.

I think they also need to vaccine the 18-30 age group as well before opening up

I assume the delta variant has forced the goal posts to be moved? Or is it just being used as an excuse?

Anyone agreeing with what Darren Grimes has to say or promotes needs to take a good long hard look at themselves, he is an atrocious human being.

Makes you wonder if the reticence to put the major holiday destination countries on the green list is to keep the money tourists would have spent there in the UK yo boost the economy. It could be the end of cheap flights. Overseas holidays for the rich only and less flights helps reduce pollution.

It looked a couple of weeks back like the UK was about 4-5 weeks behind the original vaccination curve of Israel.  If that was the case, and Israel's infection and mortality numbers would be replicated, then that would place that around the 28th, give it a week or two to confirm and you'd be in mid July with solid data to support a full opening.  Israel still gets some infections and deaths, but it is likely they are replacing other causes of death from things such as Pneumonia.  People will eventually die of something.

I wouldn’t read to much in media speculation. Bojo’s preference would be to come out as planned. Personally I’m looking forward to peoples reactions if the 21st goes ahead as planned. To be back to normal. No more masks and walking around people in supermarkets as if they’ve just dropped their guts. I actually think we’ve reached the point that people will moan whichever way the decision goes.

If they delay it a couple of weeks to get a few more vaccinated then I can just about accept that, but that should be the only consideration in any extension and a firm target % of population should be set.

The variants shouldn’t come into the decision as whether the vaccine works against it or doesn’t should make no difference to decision making. We’ve always been told that’s the vaccine is the way out of this, if it is effective against the delta variant then it’s all good and if it isn’t then we’ll just have accept it as part of every day life like the flu. There are always going to be new variants and we can’t keep avoiding a return to normality based on what ifs, larger data sets and waiting for new improved vaccines!.

How many have actually had their initial vaccination now?

I know JQ keeps on bangin on about 18-30 year olds but I read something the other day saying that they are now offering the vaccines to non adults too.

Got to be at around 40m with the first jab? Likely half the population are fully jabbed on top I'd guess? Pretty much got to be getting close to all adults vaccinated (or a least offered/invited) at least once.
