I reckon that it’s too soon to start lifting restrictions, there are still plenty of people getting infected and still too many dying. Just because the Daily Express is calling for lifting of restrictions isn’t a good enough reason to. As much as anyone I’m desperate for a return to normality but not before it’s safe to do so. I don’t want to be in a position to say “told you so...” but I can only hope that the forthcoming spike in COVID-19 cases is limited to the idiots who’ll forget all about safe distancing and behave like it never happened over this weekend.

I read today that the scientific community were very unhappy that a critical report they wrote about the government’s preparation and handling of the situation early-on was heavily redacted before being made visible to the public. Shysters and charlatans the lot of them.
