What's happening? Looks to me like there are many cases but relatively few hospitalisations, presumably because a) we are doing a lot more testing and b) vaccination means that although present in the body when tested it's not getting a foot hold. Should we push back the 21st June relaxation or power ahead and rely on the fact that all but the THB will be vaccinated pretty soon?

There is no excuse to delay it. It rather looks like SAGE are not liking the fact that no one wants to hear from them and they are loosing control.
The vaccine clearly works, any vulnerable person that wants one has had two and many more ontop of that. The only people at risk are those that refuse it, and that is their choice and their problem.
Boris cancels the 21st at his peril. It would effectively saying the multi billion vaccinations dont work and would feed the conspiracy theorists.

It's spreading amongst younger people it seems, but it is not, in general producing a severe disease. If the 21st June is pushed back - I think people will ignore the law and Parliament will lose authority. I shall abandon my lanyard then and OH says he'll no longer mask. All vulnerable people have been offered (and presumably taken) the vaccine. What's the THB brigade? Anyway, no reason I can see to continue punitive laws.

That's all very well, jourdain, "the people" may well do that. The problem is there are many restrictions still in place that Local Authorities will take absolute delight in enforcing upon businesses. Most notably the hospitality trade is still limited in its capacity and many establishments are struggling to break even with that reduced capacity. "The people" may well ditch their masks in pubs and restaurants but proprietors have an obligation to make their best efforts to see compliance. Once again the LAs will take absolute delight in visiting such places and dishing out penalties where they believe non-compliance is being condoned. A lot of this is out of the hands of the people. Businesses have licences to protect and they have little choice.
The pandemic has been manna from heaven for the Town Hall wallahs. It has given them a fresh "raison d'etre". They've stuck all their signs on the lampposts and their stickers on the pavement; they dumped all their flower pots in the roads to allow "distancing (and crippled the traffic flow into the bargain). They won't want to waste all that effort so what better than assembling teams of people, who usually answer the phone to tell their citizens that they cannot help them with whatever problem they have, to go round shouting "Hands, Face, Space" instead.
These restrictions should have been lifted at the first opportunity. Instead they are being maintained "just in case" and it's disgraceful.

//Not everyone wants the vaccine TTT, for their own personal reasons so the government can’t vaccinate ‘everyone’//
No they can't. But they can offer it to everyone (which they are well on the way to doing). The fact that some people cannot or will not take it is absolutely no reason to maintain restrictions. There were zero deaths reported today. Even allowing for the Bank Holiday (when it seems counting people who have died is beyond the authorities) seven day average death numbers have been below 20 for a month and in single figures for a fortnight. We are now maintaining restrictions (coupled with "doom and gloom") "just n case" cases begin to rise. They almost certainly will. But the country cannot remain in this artificial state for much longer.

bobbi: "Not everyone wants the vaccine TTT, for their own personal reasons so the government can’t vaccinate ‘everyone’" - those with valid medical exemptions fair enough, the rest are TBH morons and we should make life as difficult as possible for them. I hope they start checking vaccinations for lots of things going forward.
Still a lot of cases up here in Lancashire. One of the local High Schools has been closed for ten days because of rising cases . My grandson along with several others has to isolate because he must have been in contact with an infected classmate. One of the Primary schools has also had to close.A lot of the the people being admitted to hospital are much younger now. 30/40 years is becoming the norm.
Zero Covid deaths.
More people will have died in the last week from RTAs and delayed treatment from the CHS.
There is not a single reason to push “freedom day” back - not one (although I see that poison dwarf north of the border has - despicable woman).
Boris needs to stand firm on 21/6.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, and I can’t stand those that are, but I am beginning, reluctantly, to form the opinion that the ‘experts’ don’t want to relinquish the power they’ve wielded for the last 15 months.
