RichB considers nothing over his overly inflated opinion which may turn out to be wrong, again.

I consider actual facts rather than reading the Daily Mail. As it stands right now, the roadmap advertised is still in place until we are specifically told it is not.

I asked a simple question.

I can't be certain, but I don't think anyone from the cabinet reads/posts on here, so you'll just have to wait for a statement from the cabinet to tell you if there's any intention to change the current plan.

A time will tell one.

Presumably you mean "time will tell."

You'd sound pretty silly saying "A time will tell one."

I'm sure other news outlets are saying something different? The Guardian you read?

"Boris insists evidence on the Indian variant is not yet 'conclusive' as he bids to quell huge backlash after ministers admitted local lockdowns ARE back on the cards"

GG. wrote: Tue May 18, 2021 2:34 pm But to be clear - what you are referring to as inconclusive is only evidence of increased transmission and a reversal of the downward trend of infections.

There (so far as I'm aware), is NO evidence that this variant renders the current vaccines ineffective or will lead to an increase in serious cases or deaths, outside of concerns re vaccine hesitancy among vulnerable groups in certain communities presenting a localised (political and public health) issue?

So still no good basis to revert to a general lockdown/delay lifting of remaining restrictions any further.

So far we have Boris saying just earlier that there is "nothing conclusive on changing roadmap."
This has been followed by his official spokesperson saying that they're not ruling out local lockdowns.
And finally we got the caveat that they don't really know what's going to happen as it's "too early to speculate" and they need to see what happens in the next few days.

It's not really counter productive though is it if it gets certain communities worried that they might not get full restriction removal unless they get vaccinated. To allow the stories to simmer along nicely keeps up the pressure and from at least one source I saw there were long queues outside vaccine centres in these areas creating a sense of well it must be OK/peer pressure too. Maybe the desired result is being achieved by letting things alone rather than trying to kill it quickly. One final push before they stick to the roadmap and open up fully (as the country needs to get productive again to pay back the borrowed billions).
