Judging by the last couple of days and the 50000 plus for today, he might have called that plateau a bit early!
Yeah, agreed! Hospitals starting to defer care now as hospitalisations rise.
Could look at it like 50K people have been caught and are now stopped from passing it on to others.
You absolutely could...if you don't understand how viruses work.
Will almost certainly be an after effect of the Euros. Hospitalisations are obviously the most crucial number now and not daily cases, bit still difficult to reconcile the ending of all legal restrictions on Monday with current data.
Will there be a big u turn? Seems unlikely.
I doubt it. They seem to have set their stall out, although a few more weeks to increase the number of people double vaccinated would have helped.
Other European countries will see similar case numbers in the months ahead as the Delta variant spreads. Spain and the Netherlands are already doing so, as is the USA compared to a few weeks ago.
Did I hear correct on the RTE news that Primark was giving vaccines out
So Johnson and Sunak made a pathetic attempt to circumvent the self isolation rules following the positive test of Javid (like Gove did in May). Now they have been shamed into a u-turn and go into self isolation. The fact that they attempted it shows how corrupt they are
Johnson ....no need to isolate.......pilot study, bla, bla, bla........
Johnson (2 hours later) Whoa, backlash! Scary! Backtrack! Backtrack! I will isolate, after all...
Could it be the dreaded Cornwall Variant.....? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/dominic-raab-defends-g7-barbecue-world-leaders-social-distancing-b940326.html
Horrendous figures
From January???
Assuming that's some obtuse comment on the fact that 7 months ago when there were ~35000 cases a day there were 560 deaths.
Cases by ages
Why are you posting figures from January?
Methinks they saw the 18th and didn't realise they were six months out!!
Well, here's today's anyway for England...

Yes.
The Tate Modern was also an option.

Can someone tell me how to embed Twitter on NuBoards?
I know there's some settings toggle but can't find it on mobile.
Use the [<>] button to Insert Media, and then paste the URL of the Tweet.
'Freedom day' has turned into 'Closure day' with a sweep of announcements of closures due to staff shortages
Boris has bumbled it again.
I really don’t understand it. Freedom day was sold as being done with all restrictions. How is that compatible with having to self-isolate if you’re a close contact of a (suspected) case?
Even here you don’t have to isolate if you’re fully vaccinated.
Great to see the UK taking this route. Lots of young people out and about living their lives after the horrible couple of years they have had. Enjoy it young un's 👍️
I don't really understand the "backlash" against England opening up.
Either vaccines work or they don't.
Its not like Boris is going door to door and dragging people to the pub or that you won't be allowed into Tesco unless you take your mask off.
If anything what today represents is handing personal responsibility back to the individual.
There we are now.
I'm off over to the mainland now on Thursday. I'm dreading it tbh.
All's well that ends well...
It's just part of the daily onslaught directed at the UK brexit govenment by the usual crown. They'ed love to see this go wrong followed by resignations.
If this goes right it will be another massive plus for the Torys after the vaccine rollout success which is bound to overshadow the initial comparative high death rates. One can imagine how that outcome would make some people more bitter than they already are.
