20% week on week reduction after schools are back.
Zero justification for restrictions.

That's not enough of a large enough risk for the restrictions to continue when cases are going down It is when people think 30k cases a day are nothing major. It was hard enough during 1000 deaths a week to get people in London to follow the rules. If a vaccine busting restriction comes people are not ready to cope with restrictions and people need to be prepared for that or we will have hell if it happens. It's not 100-200k a day like the scientists and fake SAGE said when we had all he restrictions removed. The chances of a vaccine resistant variant isn't massively high. I don't think the restrictions rhe doomsters want are proportionate to that chance

The biggest risk is if a vaccine busting variant emerges nobody will follow restrictions and then that is when the horror could come. That's not enough of a large enough risk for the restrictions to continue when cases are going down

Or, cases are dropping like a stone now (25% week on week) Without a mask mandate. So it's not really needed

But cases seem to be going down ...... I’m not sure what help Plan B will be really Oh I was being sarcastic. Cases are going down without restrictions so zero justification for them

Seems like the Old Vic took a while to cancel given they were told of their staff concerns last year. Considering the Spacey fiasco, they need to to do better to listen to staff concerns. You don't think there's a difference between sexual predation and taking the piss out of contemporary sanctimony? Was that what Gilliam was doing? i thought he was having a rant against trans people and the metoo movement in a public forum because he cant understand and refuses to do so. Interesting how apparently the Indie cant be trusted because of it being leftwing newsprint, whereas a Python fanpage is completely unbiased. FWIW, i think if the staff felt that strongly against him working at the Old vic, they shouldnt have hired him in the first place. The whole thing has been a complete fiasco

Do we actually know it was cancelled because of TG? Baz did suggest that was the reason, but that article was from January 2020, so I don't think The Old Vic have suddenly taken exception to that now. If it is because of Terry Gilliam, I imagine they've had a more recent direct dispute. TG has been openly supporting Dave Chapelle on Twitter over the trans stuff he's said. Maybe that's an issue

Rather unfair on Leah Hausman. In the future, either nobody will give interviews or, if they do, they'll be like the "no comment" police interviews we see on TV. Well... maybe they shouldn't give interviews if they come out with racist/sexist/homophobic rubbish. It's not like the stuff he said was on the fence at all.

Its probably more that people are reluctant to book for a show which was niche anyway due to the length of gap between the parts 2 and 3. It would have struggled anyway without Covid, but may have gone into Stratford first to get more of a buzz

Case for plan B melts away

SAGE models have everything going down in terms of deaths/hosptilisations going forwards. I dont see the case for ANY restrictions going forwards.

What's the running time for this please? Per today's 'Your Visit to Hampstead Theatre' email.
The show will start at 7.30pm and is 1 hour 20 minutes long, without an interval.
Cool thanks! I'm going in a couple of weeks

It may be mainly the unvaccinated who are suffering but it's not only them. With my current heart condition I am at an extremely high risk of dying if I catch this, even being double-vaccinated. Until I can get this fixed I don't have the reserve strength to survive any additional load. I'm none too happy with the general attitude in Britain at the moment that with vaccinations available the only people who will die are the ones who kind of deserve it. And bear in mind that until I was diagnosed I thought I was reasonably healthy (I have other health issues but none that increase my Covid19 risk), so many of you out there thinking "I have nothing to worry about" may be very wrong. On top of that, the reason I'm still waiting for treatment is because the hospitals are so busy with Covid-19 cases. What I have is easy to fix but I need to get into a hospital for a day, so all the people who are happy for cases to rise instead of taking simple precautions to fight this are putting me at risk twice over: from the much greater chance of exposure to someone infected and from the greater time I'm vulnerable because I can't get treatment. So I'm really rather disgusted with a government that seems to want to wait and see what happens, given that the last three times they tried that approach it ended up as a disaster. It speaks volumes about the utter incompetence of this government that they expect 100K cases per day during the winter and think the best course of action is to warn people how bad it's going to be instead of, say, taking any action at all to make it less bad. I feel for you but the only thing which will materially get things down are severe restrictions for a medium/long period of time.a few more people wearing masks won't do it I'm afraid. If you want to make the case for protecting vulnerable people by putting everyone else under long standing severe restrictions, go for it. Short, mild restrictions won't do anything to help them. Telling clinically vulnerable people "it's not safe for you to be on a bus with unmasked people, but if they'd only all put masks on you'd be fine" is just wrong. I hope you can get the booster jab soon and your heart issues sorted out. It doesn't sound like a great situation

We have an option to wear masks, if the majority are *choosing* not to, how can using the weight of the law by issuing a mandate be seen as being in the public good? I find the whining about people not wearing masks tiresome tbh. The same way that mandating people not smoking in enclosed public spaces is for the public good. The same way that speed restrictions are for the public good. Before those things were mandated, people also *chose* not to give a sh*t if smoking in a restaurant or a plane or an office would make other people around them sick (not to mention the smell) or if driving as fast as they*chose* to would mean an increased risk to running over someone in a residential area or causing an accident, that doesn't mean that what they were doing was for the public good. I find the whining about wearing a small piece of fabric over ones nose and mouth to lessen the likelihood of unknowingly infecting other people or, if we are to go with the entirely selfish motivation, to lessen the likelihood that we get locked down again incredibly tiresome, tbh. What you're describing is entirely different to the issue of wearing masks for extended periods though. People dont HAVE to smoke indoors. You can drive up to a certain speed. Those two are very different things to expect people to wear masks for hours on end ( i especially find it weird to expect kids to wear them) Each to their own, but the majority of the population are choosing not to wear them. Need to address that rather than call them selfish e.t.c.
