Roadmap out of Lockdown - Feb 22nd

[Neville's Breakfast]

I could go on and counter but this would carry on all night and as poor as it is I’d rather watch football

Well, that wasn’t your best decision of the week, was it ?

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has warned the government's timeline for unlocking coronavirus restrictions won't be sped up - and could even be slowed as ministers remain "vigilant" against infection rates.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has set out a four-stage roadmap for lifting England's lockdown over the next four months, with a five-week gap between each stage.

Some Conservative MPs have complained the roadmap, beginning with the return of all pupils to schools on 8 March, doesn't remove restrictions fast enough.

But, speaking to Sky News, Mr Hancock described the five-week gap between each stage of easing restrictions as "vital".

"It's very, very important that we can see the impact of one step before taking the next step," he said.

"There's a vital need to keep watching the data and for all us, the whole of society, to stick with this plan.

"We want to be able to hit those milestones, but we will be vigilant and watch what's happening to make sure it's safe to make each move.

"The prime minister set out the four tests we will apply before announcing each move can go ahead.

"Of course we want to make the moves at the dates that are set out.

"But it's on all of us to make sure we can by continuing to follow the rules between now and then as the vaccine rollout continues and as the really, really positive impact of those vaccines takes effect.

"This is on all of us."

Mr Hancock said that ministers were "absolutely determined" to come out of England's third national lockdown "as fast as safely possible, but no faster", with the aim of making the removal of restrictions "irreversible".

"This isn't just about choices the government makes, it's actually about how everyone responds and pulls together," he added.

"So, for now, it is so important that people stick to the existing rules.

"We can see the light at the end of the tunnel and the best way is for everybody to keep abiding by the rules, as they are in very, very large part."


I think the key takeaway from this message is the roadmap out of lockdown is an absolute best case scenario if things go perfectly, and it's all of our responsibilities to adhere to the rules. As the government grants us some freedoms back at each stage it is the absolute maximum we can do and does not mean we should all rush to do all of these things, we still need to act responsibilly and minimise social contact and stay at home wherever possible. It is highly possible the roadmap will slip back at some point and if it slips back significantly it will be our own fault if we've failed to follow the rules.

Matt Hancock also refused to apologise for breaking laws and justified the ppe shortages saying that it was ok as it was never a national shortage so forgive me for not taking all he says as gospel.
