The last remaining Covid restriction in England could be gone in weeks, after the prime minister announcedThe plan had been to end it on 24 March - but if the trends remained positive, Boris Johnson said, it could go a month early.The case for relaxing is not clear cutCertainly questions are being asked about the politics of the move, with the prime minister under continuing pressure.
Coupled with this is the rise of a sub-variant of Omicron, BA.2, thought to be even more transmissible than the version, first identified in South Africa, that caused the Christmas surge and now accounts for an estimated one out of every six infections. Prof Hunter would have preferred to wait a little bit longer to see what happens with infections and the sub-variant.
This winter, the testing system has been picking up only half of all infections - so at the peak, an estimated 200,000 people a day in England who should have been were not being formally asked to isolate.
Very good question!
Stupid and discriminatory.
The rules won't stop for me. I'll continue to wear a mask and social distance until I think it's safe, not the government. People say we're sheep but they're sheep cos they do as the government tells them,they can't make a decision themselves 🙄

Got to learn to live with it
Edit::: in England ONLY SAGE said they were NOT consulted on this, it was based solely on Ego Science - if it sounded good, it'd look good, and keep a corrupt PM in office. It had zero to do with science or sense.
EL VIRUS SIGUE VIVO COMO EL PRIMER DIA K NACIO HOY 2 AÑOS DESPUES YA SABEMOS COMO SE PUEDE CONTROLAR PERO NO EL 100% DE LA GENTE EN LA TIERRA ESTA VACUNADO CADA PERSONA TIENEN LA OPCION DE USAR EL SENTIDO COMUN Y HACER LO K TENGA K HACER X SU PROPIA PROTECCION.
Brave.
Stupid
We’re all sick of people moaning about their lack of “freedoms.”
Too early! At least wait for the good weather! Right now it is an attempt at skin-saving! JohnsonOut17
MIT demonstrated in 2014 that coughing in the open without a mask can throw spit spray containing viable live virus twenty feet in the open air. Why are we having this conversation?
Stupid.. its s political move by Johnson to appease the monsters on the back benches that keep him in No10
I think the word you’re looking for is DEMOCIDE.
Pandering to the masses to desperately gain some popularity. That’s all it is. No scientists would be making this decision.
It’s political not scientific in any way, done to distract.
Selfish, it's Shaggo the clown's last dead cat
Stupid and a political move
I say leave it at your discretion, if you catch it and believe you could be a danger to a vulnerable family member or some such, agree to isolate from them until you come back clear just to be sure, now is the time to let people decide amongst themselves.
Neither, it’s logical
Crack on with life. Enough is enough.
Neither. It’s purely Boris trying to save his career.
It can be both.
All the experts say loudly, 'Stupid.'
We have reached a point where we must keep on earning a living and deal with this virus the best way we can. Vaccines and mask education.
S T U P I D,!!!
Brave? Like Generals in WWI sending soldiers over the top to walk towards machine guns of the opposing forces were Brave? (arguably the soldiers were Stupid, on each side, to follow orders that resulted in so much death of young innocent men)
It’s stupid and malevolent
Have a guess
It’s the right move
20-40000 people die on average in the UK from flu or chest problems caused by winter viruses. As it stands Omicron is probably killing less than this as it stands. Can’t lockdown forever. We now have vaccines drugs and a lot more knowledge. Only another variant could change it
'Is ending the last Covid rule brave or stupid'?..No Covid rules should ever have been imposed in the first place, especially the wretched, unnecessary & very damaging Lockdowns which have been & continue to be catastrophic for the Nation's economy & the wellbeing of millions!👎
Unvaxed are not the issue, Its the media pushing out consistent fear and most have been financed by the the vax company's and banks , Yes they wish to continue making money - The bubble will burst and the economics will fall.... get ready
It is another distraction. Johnson distracts to save himself.
What the biggest con since 911.
human
Let's get this party started. 😊
We're at just under 300 deaths a day. Of course it's stupid. Still by Boris Johnson doing this he then can't blame covid when the BrexitReality really starts to shine through. PMQs BBCBreakfast
Without the science being listened too anymore the drive for this is to win popularity back - so this is foolish…but then a foolish man rages against all wise judgment…
Stupid
Shocking!
With a government who has sent to death 180+ thousand of its taxpayers and citizens, and bragged about OperationLastGasp LetTheBodiesPileHigh, what do you reckon 'brave' or 'stupid'? I'm really astonished. ToriesPartiedWhilePeopleDied Democide ToriesOutNow
It’s not illegal, just like it’s not with flu. However common sense and guidance is the proper approach. Throughout this pandemic period there have those that have not adhered to the law, guidance and medical support inc MPs, Royalty so those of who have now need to move on.
Neither. It's long overdue.
Sensible
It’s certainly not brave, it’s criminal that he’s playing with peoples life’s. Where’s the scientific evidence?
More like dangerous, politically motivated, not based on the science. We're still losing hindreds of people per day.
Stupid. Do you want to be banned from travelling abroad? Because this is how we get banned from travelling abroad!
Stupid. JohnsonOut16
Shouldn't have happened at all ...
Stupid
Stop relying on the government.. just stay safe to stay well.
Not a good idea?
Stupid
A bit stupid in a country where common sense doesn't exist and people need to be told what to do as they can't take decisions for themselves...
85%-90% of the population has antibodies, it's a science based decision.
By dropping the COVID rules, the IDEA that he had 12 parties, dont seem like it was that big a deal...
