Second Spike And Lockdown Reimposed
The Government were repeatedly warned again and again about reopening schools and easing lockdown too early. The R number had reduced to under 1 in London, but was still too high in the rest of the country.
Now in Leicester lockdown has had to be reintroduced because the deaths are surging again. Shops that only reopened last Monday are having to close again.

This Government have been inept since the start of the pandemic and have just got worse.

It's also worth noting that data since May trumps opinion from May. I was also concerned -- and, it has to be said, still am -- that the easing over June was premature, but it has not been borne out nationally by case numbers -- which, although they haven't fallen as far as they could have, have at least held stable around 1,000/day (from tests only) for a couple of weeks, down from just under 2,000 a day at the start of the month.
The further easing from July 4th is potentially another matter, but I will defer judgement for myself until later in the month when we'll see the effects.

I wonder how many of the infected have recently, or have close family members who have recently, flown in from Pakistan? Meanwhile with flights to and from China starting up again, under the radar of the general populace so as not to cause concern, a new threat. Mind how ya go.

"Half of Britain's imported coronavirus cases in June came from Pakistan, data suggests amid calls for tougher quarantine checks from 'high-risk' countries
Since March 1, 190 flights have arrived from Pakistan, which is reporting 4,000 coronavirus cases a day and has had a new spike since easing lockdown.
More than 65,000 people travelled to Britain and most are thought to have British passports."
190 flights in a month from Pakistan and 65,000 incomers. Non of them BA or Virgin flights of course...our airlines can go to the wall as long as Emirates and Pakistani Airlines stay in business.
