Really hope so.

Downing Street is no longer promising that conclusions of the social distancing and Covid passports reviews will be announced this month, citing uncertainty caused by the Indian variant.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said at a briefing of political journalists this afternoon that there was no "set time" for those announcements to be made.
Yet Boris Johnson had set out a time frame only last week, saying an update on whether social distancing will continue and Covid status certificates will be needed after June 21 would come later in May.
The change in position reflects the new uncertainty created by a surge in the Indian variant of Covid-19, which early data suggests could be more transmissible than other variants.
Number 10 was also unable to confirm that a decision on relaxing rules on weddings would be made on May 24, despite Mr Johnson also saying that would be the case last Monday.
The decision to no longer pledge announcements by the end of the month will raise concerns that the June 21 unlocking could happen on a smaller scale than hoped for just a few weeks ago.
Government figures have stressed that early data suggests the Covid vaccines remain effective against the Indian variant and urged people to get their two doses when eligible.

Oh yes and hopefully vaccine passports are introduced too
I'm as desperate for 21st June as everyone else but if they say, for example, an extra two weeks lockdown just to make sure we're clear of it then it's worth it. No point getting this far only to fuck it up at the last minute.

Purely anecdotal but the vaccination centre near me has barely been open for weeks. The question isn't about capacity, it might be about supplies

They must have heard me as I've just had a message from the GP to invite me for my vaccination

I was shocked at how fast paced it is.
I was there less than 2 minutes before I had the jab. They had a big box full of them and were just going at it like robots.

Yeah, the booking system gave slots of every 2 minutes. I'm having the Pfizer one it seems.

Its Sage that are to blame for that, the way they go about Scaremongering is disgraceful. They don't live in the real world and think locking down is the only solution to it all.
Hopefully Boris doesn't cave in.

no it's not as deaths are not the only concern - increased hospitalisation lead to reduced capacity in other areas leading to deaths in other wards.
Hospitalisations are going up

You are right DOD. I agree with Sage and think we should lockdown for the rest of the year.

I’m at the stage now where if you have refused to have a vaccine deal with it yourself. I’m going for a pint.

Oh yeah, if people refuse it then lock those cunts up and let everybody else get back to life, back to reality,

I meant as in lockdown.
Thing is, the people shouting they won't get it will be the ones running campaigns to close the pubs.

I ended up in Bedworth (don't ask) on Saturday, needed a break from the City Arms, been there about 10 times since it opened back up.
