Easing restrictions...

From tomorrow the lockdown restrictions will be eased a little more, though, with today being a sunny Sunday, most people will no doubt assume that the easing has already begun. They’ll head to the busiest beach or beauty spot, where, after a barbecue, a few cold beers and a kickabout with a football, they’ll forget all about social distancing.

I’ve heard people saying that if Dominic Cummings isn’t prepared to stick to the rules, then they won’t either… which sounds petulant and makes no sense at all. Coronavius is as contagious as ever; every day in England there are still about 8,000 new infections. I worry that there’ll be a second spike in transmissions, leaving us back where we were a couple of months ago.
