I've just been reading and it looks like most restrictions are being lifted even mandatory mask wearing.

I'm definitely not ready to go back to life as it was before (whatever the hell that looked like!) and it really worries me with how much the new variant breaks through vaccines. The thought of going into the office with a load of unvaccinated people is enough to make me want to become a complete hermit (only half joking I think lol)

Definitely feel like I've taken a few steps back recently in terms of fear of this virus - but not sure if I'm being overly cautious - be interested to know what other people are feeling at the moment?
I really don't know what to make of the final easements currently proposed for 19th July, though there must be some scientific explanation for it to be (provisionally) given the go-ahead.

Surely Whitty, Vallance, Ferguson, Harries, et el, would have been sticking their heels in by now if the situation was currently in serious doubt.

But I haven't heard or read anything from any reputable news outlets about the jabs being full-on ineffective against the Delta variant, in fact so far it's the opposite that's been (mostly) reported.
