There are always going to be variants, you won’t stop them by restricting OUR movements at home you need to look at those coming from abroad bringing the variants with them🤷‍♀️ Remember you can still catch & transmit the virus even after vaccination, tests are not always reliable🤷‍♀️

I knew from beginning this wont happen on 21st !

Absolute bullshite man😅 the average number of deaths (with covid not of covid) over the last week is 8? What are we trying to do exactly? We accept that tens of thousands of people die of the flu every year and sage scientists have already said this is an endemic situation now

Use to it now

Four week-delay to June 21 Freedom Day 'being considered' by Boris JohnsonIt is thought they want to give more people in their 40s a window to get their second dose of the vaccine and for it to take effect before fully lifting restrictions. Ah yes, I remember that being a key condition. Double jab and a month or so delay after for people not at risk. This won’t end. stoptesting Make the mass vaccination centres walk ins now anyone that wants one in the higher risk categories has had one.
