UK - LOCK DOWN LIFTING, NOT HAPPENING JUNE 21ST - 3RD WAVE INCOMING

Coronavirus: Is a third wave underway in the UK?

The new strain of Covid-19 caused cases to uptick in the northwest of England, parts of the Midlands and in London during May and into the first week of June, prompting fears that the prime minister pressing ahead with his roadmap to bring an end to precautionary measures could have disastrous consequences.

Government 'open' to delaying 21 June England lockdown end date

The government is "absolutely open" to delaying the final lifting of England's Covid lockdown on 21 June if necessary, the health secretary has said.

Matt Hancock insisted 21 June was a "not before" date to end restrictions and No 10 "would look at the data".

He said the Delta variant first seen in India was about 40% more transmissible than the Alpha (Kent) strain.

But he added that hospitalisations were "broadly flat" which meant Covid vaccines were working.

UK readies contingency plans to delay June 21 easing

Surge testing in Reading and Wokingham as Delta variant case numbers rise across UK..

Civil servants are drawing up contingency plans to delay the June 21 easing of England’s lock down restrictions, as the UK reported another large rise in corona virus cases on Friday and surge testing for the Delta variant was launched in parts of Berkshire.

Pressure from scientists on prime minister Boris Johnson to leave some Covid-19 measures in place for England intensified with further evidence that the more contagious Delta variant originally detected in India was displacing the previously dominant Alpha (Kent) variant and pushing up infections fast.

Two-week delay to June 21 lock down easing being considered

Social distancing and the wearing of face coverings are also set to continue with the lifting of restrictions set to be scaled back..

A two-week delay to the final stage of Boris Johnson’s road map on June 21 is reportedly being considered after the the number of people in the country with Covid-19 surged by 75 per cent.

The 'Freedom Day' date was pencilled in as the official end of lock down but rising cases fuelled by the Indian variant - now known as the Delta variant - have complicated the picture.

Multiple reports have also suggested plans to lift restrictions could be scaled down, with social distancing and the wearing of face coverings set to continue amid concerns the Indian variant is fuelling a surge in cases.

The UK on Friday recorded its highest number of new confirmed corona virus cases – 6,238 – since late March, according to official figures.

Other options' for 21 June being drawn up as government weighs ending lock down as planned

Options said to be under discussion include retaining the use of masks, working from home policy, or a slight delay to unlocking.

Options under discussion are said to include:

• Retaining the wearing of face masks in certain settings

• Continuing the work from home advice, even as the hospitality sector opens up

• A slight delay to the unlocking, pushing step 4 into July

Wales chief says lock down restrictions WON'T be eased

WELSH leader Mark Drakeford has dashed hopes of a so-called freedom day on June 21, as he confirmed that Wales will not lift all Covid restrictions after he held a meeting with Boris Johnson on Thursday.

The First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford confirms that Wales will not lift all COVID restrictions on June 21st, even if England does. Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Mr Drakeford voiced concern over the spread of new variants and suggested that some restrictions will stay in place until everyone has had their first vaccination dose.

Stage four of Boris Johnson's roadmap for easing lockdown rules - when the Prime Minister aims to remove all limits on social contact - is scheduled to take place from 21 June.

UK passes 40m vaccine first doses but expert warns full lock down easing is ‘foolish’

It came as reports suggested ministers are considering delaying the full reopening date - or “Freedom Day” - by a fortnight to 5 July.

However further good news arrived on the vaccine front as the UK hit another milestone, with 40 million first doses administered in just six months.

And Chris Hopson, the chief executive of NHS Providers, said data from Bolton suggested that vaccines had “broken the chain” between coronavirus infection and serious illness.

Delta variant hospitalisations are increasing but not “very significantly” and, in Bolton at least, typically involve individuals who are “a lot younger and a lot less at-risk of very serious complication” or death – reducing the demand for critical care, he said.

On Friday daily coronavirus cases surpassed 6,000 for the first time since March and health secretary Matt Hancock said on Friday it was “too early to say” whether current plans could go ahead.

Saturday’s daily figure for new cases was down slightly, at 5,765, but that is still higher than Thursday’s tally.

Hahahahahahaha

All you knuckleheads are gonna be locked up until at least 2025 and that is only if you ain't fucking dead

Hahaha Hahaha

Freedumb day?

Hahahahahahaha

What will change on 21 June if lock down is eased ?


The Government hopes to remove “all legal limits on social contact” from 21 June. This means there will no longer be restrictions on how many people you can meet, either indoors or outdoors.

However, some social distancing rules may remain in place, and the wearing of masks may still be mandatory in some public places.

Nightclubs and music venues will reopen and larger events will be allowed to resume without limited crowds.

“This will be subject to the results of a scientific events research programme to test the outcome of certain pilot events through the spring and summer, where we will trial the use of testing and other techniques to cut the risk of infection,” the Government said.

Will the 21 June lock down easing actually happen?
Before each stage of the road map the Government must ensure four tests are passed:

The vaccine deployment programme continues successfully.

Evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths in those vaccinated.

Infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS
Assessment of the risks is not fundamentally changed by new variants of concern

Vaccine drive and Delta variant UK

Mr Hancock said he expected “around three fifths” of all adults to have been fully vaccinated within the coming fortnight, with 52 per cent currently double-jabbed, as indicators suggest vaccines are helping to cut the link between case rises and an increase in hospital admissions.

The drive to roll out vaccines to every adult by the end of July is continuing at pace as the Health Secretary announced those aged under 30 will be invited to book their first dose this week.

The vaccine push comes amid growing concern that the Delta variant is fuelling a surge in cases across Britain.

Of the 12,431 cases so far confirmed in the UK, 10,797 are in England, 1,511 in Scotland, 97 in Wales and 26 in Northern Ireland.

On Friday the UK recorded its highest number of new confirmed coronavirus cases – 6,238 – since late March, according to official figures.

Dame Anne Johnson, professor of infectious disease epidemiology at University College London, said reopening would be a “very finely judged decision” and that society will need to learn to live with coronavirus


There you go friends - It aint going away EVER !

Nervtag Professor: 'The data simply doesn't support a delay to lock down easing'

The UK population will be 'massively demoralised' if the Government decides to delay the final step of lockdown easing on June 21st, Nervtag Professor Robert Dingwall tells LBC.

It comes as Boris Johnson says the data to support the easing is "still ambiguous" and "we just need to give it a little bit longer" before a firm decision is made.

Nick Ferrari asked Professor Robert Dingwall, a member of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), what he thought the impact would be of delaying the June 21st lock down easing.

Prof. Dingwall, speaking in a personal capacity, said: "I think the population will be massively demoralised frankly, and the data simply don't support a delay.

The short sorts of delays that are being talked about - oh it might only be three weeks - those in practical terms make very little difference to the risk.

"The question is really, if not on the 21st June, then when?

Broken' NHS staff are 'terrified’ of impact of easing restrictions on June 21

NHS staff have urged the government to be cautious with the decision to end lockdown restrictions on June 21.

Easing such restrictions too soon will be a “recipe for disaster”, a doctor has warned, amid concerns for an NHS already struggling with a backlog of non-Covid patients.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come under pressure to move ahead with “freedom day” on June 21, given the uptake of Covid-19 vaccines in recent months.

Several front line workers have already expressed fears about the impact of reopening in the coming weeks, with some describing the health service as still “on its knees” and at higher capacity than usual.

Dr Megan Smith admitted that herself and colleague are "terrified" over the NHS becoming overwhelmed again.

She said the NHS is under pressure dealing with issues from the first waves of the pandemic, and could not cope with even a small spike in Covid patients.

Covid cases soar by 65% as new variant takes hold in UK – fears of lock down easing delay

CORONAVIRUS cases in the UK have soared by 65 percent in a week as 5,341 new infections were recorded on Sunday, the Government announced..

It is now the dominant strain in England, according to official estimates.

Mr Hancock pointed to a renewed rise in coronavirus cases but stressed that he had been reassured by a broadly flat rate of hospitalisations and deaths as officials consider plans to end the lockdown.

In an interview with Sky News, he said: "It's too early to make a final decision on that.

"The prime minister and I and the team will be looking at all the data over this week.

As in the US, SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19, along with mRNA vaccines, are a largely political matter. They're now greatly affected by how people fall along the ideological lines of liberal/leftwing or conservative/rightwing.

In general, people who lean left have limited honesty, limited logic, limited common sense, limited integrity, limited ethics and limited compassion. Or they don't have any of those traits at all.

With so many liberals/progressives/leftists running amok throughout the Western World in particular, we're in good hands and great shape.

It's astonishing that people are still falling for this garbage. The hoax is so obvious at this point.

They never intend to end the lock downs. They already told us this was the "new normal." They can cook up whatever stats they like to justify it.

As long as enough people continue to comply, they can keep getting away with it. The longer this is allowed to go on, the weaker and poorer the people will get and the harder it will be to break free.

When are people going to unite and say enough is enough? Are they going to wait until everyone's homeless and jobless and there's no more food left on the grocery store shelves?

imagine not having debt and then seeing people around you who never paid for shit and got loads of debt get debt free. LOL
some weird stuff if true.

Will you envy them getting their debt forgiven only when they take a death jab?

seen regular flu never seen anything like this like some alien plague that just keep comin four horseman of the apocalypse on was pestilence another was war we are in end times

Covid injection is causing the new infections.

Obviously, the solution is to give more people injections, so more people die.

/Deagle for the win!

Its like a star wars saga

true virus is measured in millimicrons one millionth of a millimeter if you know size of millimeter al masks do is maybe stop you from inhaling sneeze droplets
