Quite a few big sporting events coming up, I do hope people do know what they are potentially doing.
I might be wrong, but don't you watch cricket outdoors?
I think you had to have proof of vaccination or a very recent LFT to be in the Edgbaston crowd.
Not the point I am making. There seems to be a widespread belief that this virus cannot transmit outdoors. It can as Liverpool-Madrid and Cheltenham proved. Now we have a far more transmissible variant than back then and lots of people still unvaccinated and a vaccine that is not 100% reliable. 1 in 25 people testing positive right now in the UK have had both doses of the vaccine, that's 300 a day.
Edgbaston has been very well organised, IMV. Social distancing outside, masks on but no social distancing inside(impossible) unless you are in your seat. Cashless event, too.No under 16s allowed in, either.
Yes the BBC link provided by AndrewC! is a well balanced article which pretty much sums up where I think we are and the best way of us moving forward in the near term.
The BBC doesn't understand exponentials either! It's good that delays to step 4 are finally being discussed in public but it was Step 3 that has caused the current problems. We need to withdraw to step 2 and put all efforts into keeping schools going for the next 5 weeks. Then I think we could review and reintroduce step 3 while we wait for vaccine rollout until the end of August, when Delta should be in steep decline.
Gav, that is simply way too sensible for it to have any notice taken of it, whatsoever..
The sensible thing to do is to continue to monitor hospitalisations before drawing conclusions from extrapolated data.
The figures don't distinguish cause of death, so those 12 could have died from unrelated causes.

I'm not trying to argue one way or the other by the way, just offering balance
