Freedom Day

[Deskdiary]

There's lots of noises the Govt is going to be pathetic and buckle and delay freedom day.

According to the link below deaths have doubled to 8 (8, not 80 or 800 or 8,000 - but 8), and my health authority in SE England has not had a Covid death for 100 days - so 2 and a 1/2 months.

There is not a single meaningful reason for freedom day to be delayed, so why is it likely to happen?

Deaths are so minimal that we should now ignore Covid as a specific threat, accept that it exists (minimally because 80% of adults carry antibodies) and continue as if it were an outbreak of 'flu (which is killing far more than Covid at the moment). OH and I have decided that 21./6 is cut-off - after which we shall decline to obey any rules.

Jourdain I think there are many folk who will be doing the same as you.

Unfortunately, apart from throwing away your mask, there is very little one can do. Establishments still bound by restrictions will have little choice but to follow them.
