@mikethesnow it will be very interesting to see what effect vaccination has on death rates in those susceptible groups
It should have an effect on those at risk too. But as @MiketheSnow implied it is rarely just one thing. Culling of the susceptible will have an effect, vaccines will have an effect, rising herd immunity will have an effect.
Multifactorial yes

I’d be interested to hear other UK ferners views on freedom day. Locally to us, it seems not much of a change in attitudes and application. A bit less mask wearing, but similar social distancing, a little more flexibility about which doors we go in and out in public places (Ok I mean the pub), by otherwise fairly much as you were.
-
@catogrande Only difference to my life is not wearing a mask in the pub or a cafe.
Most people seem sensible, some reports of people on the Tube not wearing masks.
-
@catogrande No change around here much at all.
I help out in the local community shop and everyone still wears masks and social distances. I've heard pubs are bit more relaxed but people still don a mask when ordering from the bar or going to the loo.

Update: Was in ASDA this morning and plenty of people weren't wearing masks nor social distancing. Seemed to be a mix of locals and holiday-makers. Unsure if the likes of Waitrose or Tesco are the same.
Also my dentist has relaxed procedures a bit in their reception area. Pretty much the same PPE for the dentist himself though.

You do realise that this is a public forum don't you?

They do great pizza flavours like "Cheeseburger and BBQ Sauce" and a wide selection of cheap whiskies - as well you know.

Now I'm conflicted. I'm sitting somewhere between <shudder> and <ooh, cheap whiskies>

Hospital going up by about 150 per day. Should peak early this week then decline given 2 week delay.

I just had a flashback to riding halfway across Georgia, the day after discovering the delightfully named "Hankey Bannister" at the Turkey/Georgia border duty-free - stocking up on it, and then consuming it that night to free up luggage space.
