Up to them...what some people see as a social event and to be enjoyed others detest and can’t understand......thank heavens we have that ‘privilege’ as someone posted...comes to something when popping to the shops is spoken about in such terms

No problem with that, but in arriving and seeing a queue even half that long I’d be thinking I can wait another day or two for some new pants.

Had my jab today (yay) and parked in Churchill Square. Being a bit early I decided to walk through the centre and it was chaos - busier than I've ever seen it except around Christmas, no social distancing anywhere, almost everyone ignoring the "walk on the left" instructions, more non-mask wearers than I've seen for probably a year and security dealing with drunk people (who weren't wearing masks). Grim.

9 of 16 parks in Glasgow and Edinburgh closed this weekend as youngsters again disobey the rules by gathering in groups larger than 6. Have they no morals?? Just becouase they are at little risk of infection they should be following the rules for the greater good.

... and he casts the net again, in the hopes of entrapping some unsuspecting victims. Will he have a good haul? Now is the time we wait and see what transpires.

All outdoors, all tested negative, very little risk. Won’t get banned, there are loads not wearing face coverings. Great to see a crowd at a football match.

Indeed. Must be a strange life trawling the media for negative stuff to run here and post

The chap on the left is a Covidiot because he's left his mask hooked over one ear, either commit to taking it off or not mate.

It’s over mate .

Get out there , mingle with others . Have some fun and get your mental state back to what it should be .

If there is a rule mandating facemasks at games, it must be enforced or nobody will follow it. Tests far from perfect and plenty of countries thought they were on top of it and then turned out not to be.

Cautious optimism is justified. But it isn't over

Plenty of room for optimism in this country. And I hope it will stay at least as good as it is now.

Like others, I am not really worried by a couple of football fans (who have been tested) not wearing masks while outside. Although I'd also say at ths stage, if rules say wear them, then wear them. Why not? Not least to set an example.

But to just say 'it's over' is stupid. And dangerous.
Ask anyone in India if 'it's over'. Or Chile. Or Germany. Too many countries have been caught out by being complacent.

It's over when the experts (the real ones, not the anti-lockdown attention seekers) say it's over. And at the moment, while there are inevitably differences in the detailed modelling, and assessement, the consensis is that it's looking good, but we need to remain cautious and move step by step. One reason I am optimistic is that the government seems to have finally learnt the lesson of listening to the experts, not getting ahead of the science and data and moving too fast,

I've deleted a series of posts from here because they included, or quoted the inclusion of, a press image.

Doing this could finish this site off.

Those who own the rights to these photos often pursue those who have re-used them, seeking thousands of pounds per image used.

I am very positive about where we are. But we got here through a number of measures, based on a careful, well planned process. And we need to get out through a careful and well planned process. Not by declaring it 'over' and rushing out to mingle as we please. If you think this can't still go pear shaped from here, given the situation elsewhere in the world, then you haven't been paying attention. And to cock it up from here, through an inability to act like grown ups, would be an insult to all those that have worked so hard to get us to this point.

We can certainly have a 'near-normal' summer, but it's not over anywhere until it is over everywhere.

We can certainly have a 'near-normal' summer, but it's not over anywhere until it is over everywhere.

This in a nutshell.

It won't be until next year when everyone, or the vast majority are vaccinated that we see how effective it is, AND if people need top ups . . .

My moneys on the idiotic majority getting over excited about pubs/clubs opening and a mini 3rd wave at least.
