Leading doctors are urging the government to keep some measures in place in England after 19 July in a bid to help control the spread of Covid amid the “alarming” rise in cases.
The British Medical Association (BMA) said that keeping some protective measures in place was “crucial” to stop spiralling cases numbers having a “devastating impact” on people’s health, the NHS, the economy and education.
Dr Chaand Nagpaul, BMA council chair, said easing restrictions was not an “all or nothing” decision, and that “sensible, cautious” measures would be vital to minimising the impact of further waves, new variants and lockdowns.

“As case numbers continue to rise at an alarming rate due to the rapid transmission of the Delta variant and an increase in people mixing with one another, it makes no sense to remove restrictions in their entirety in just over two weeks’ time” he said.

Must admit I think the government have been overplaying the 'Freedom Day' message (as usual
). I'm double-Pfizered and very unlikely to end up in hospital, but as Andrew Marr said last week after contracting it, it was still pretty nasty 😱 Given that it will probably be rampant once the government proclaims all restrictions unnecessary, chances of getting a nasty illness will possibly increase significantly as there doesn't appear to have been any real effort to keep the levels of infection low enough to be manageable with a working T&T (which, of course, we don't have).
