You sure its already widespread?

This tracks the virus variants.

b.1.617 - Germany has had 164 cases of the variant we have had 2784.
Looks fairly spread out to me.

On balance, if you were a person living in fear of the virus, you'd rather be here than in Germany at the moment. Somebody from Bolton public health on the radio yesterday said the Indian variant thing needs to be kept in perspective. He pointed out that there are a fraction of cases in Bolton compared to the peak and the situation is far from out of control.

European Union ambassadors are expected to sign off on a plan allowing fully vaccinated Britons to fly to Europe without being required to have a Covid test or to quarantine

I may be in luck.

Mention of Germany reminds me of that video recently posted in another topic.

That guy also thought his situation was far from out of control.

The problem is that if you wait until it is showing signs of being out of control its already too late.
 
Not this morning, no.

By teatime? Who knows.

Just saying that by the time you return the rules may have changed and/or the status of where youd been may have changed, so best not to organise your life on the assumption that you definitely wont have to do the quarantine hotel thing. Where, BTW, you face a much higher risk of contact with infected people.
 
The government's red and amber lists are randomised with no sense to them.

Perhaps it depends if Buffon Johnson fancies the president's wife

Which is true, and utterly missing the point. The number of cases are doubling each week. So the number last week was a fraction, half, of what it is this week.

The latest stats are 280 cases per 100,000. In two weeks that could easily be four times that, or 1,000 per 100,000. That's around the same as the worst of the second wave.

So, good news everyone. We may have two weeks before Bolton is back to the second wave peak. We'll probably see less deaths because most of the most vulnerable are mostly protected and it's mostly them that get hospitalised and die. But there's a lot of mosts in that sentence, there's enough remaining to be very messy.
 
Yes but my point was that news headlines would have us believe they are at crisis point now, which they are not. Lockdowns can't go on forever. Eventually we have to learn to manage this thing.
