Maybe the real plan is that in two weeks time, so many people will be self isolating that pubs, restaurants, clubs etc will be so short staffed that they’ll have to close in a pseudo-lockdown. Then they can argue that they still delivered Freedumb Day.

Fully vaccinated Health Secretary tests positive 48 hours before his planned lifting of all restrictions. A sign if ever I’ve seen one.

Thanks for the answers.
This is the stuff I was thinking of getting - is that the stuff you’ve just ordered?

Anyone got any suggestions for relatively lightweight webbing for crossbody / musette style bags? I have an Apidura packable musette that uses 18mm width stuff that's perfect - plenty strong but also not so stiff that it easily packs down. Has the same angled weave as seatbelt, as opposed to the stiffer stuff that has 'lines' across the width.
Edit: just answered my own question, it's herringbone nylon tape. Any suggestions for stockists most appreciated.

So, at least a 1 in 20 chance of getting infected at an outdoor festival that had a (admittedly flawed) ‘test/vaccination for entry’ system. Seems crazy that the U.K. is only ‘recommending’ that nightclubs etc have a similar system.

25% want to close nightclubs and casinos, and 19% want a 10pm curfew, permanently?

Here in NL it was lifted completely two weeks ago (I think public transport is the only place it's still required), and we're already back to being stared at if you wear one in the supermarket.
I think in a few weeks NL is going to be a good example of not opening up rapidly.

Surprised they haven't called a referendum about mask wearing, seems to be the preferred way of making irreversible decisions these days.
Really hoped that people wearing masks on public transport if they’re ill might be a positive hangover from the pandemic but the two people closest to me on this train are both clearly ill and relentlessly coughing, blowing their nose and wiping their snot with their hands. I guess Freedom Day really means the freedom to make other people sick.
