Boris Johnson to set out England's final Covid lockdown easing

Boris Johnson is expected to confirm later he is confident the majority of the remaining Covid restrictions in England can be lifted from 19 July.

Making face masks voluntary and ending the 1m-plus social distancing rule and QR code sign-ins at restaurants will be among the PM's announcements.

He said people must "learn to live with this virus" and "exercise judgement".

Infections are expected to rise when rules are eased but ministers believe deaths will be limited by vaccinations.

The fourth and final stage of the government's roadmap out lockdown in England was delayed last month to no earlier than 19 July.

Among the restrictions currently in force are the "rule of six" for gatherings, table service in pubs and restaurants, capacity limits in theatres and cinemas, and the closure of nightclubs.

The chairman of the British Medical Association, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, said it "makes no sense" to stop wearing face coverings in enclosed public spaces amid a rising number of cases of the Delta variant.

It’s not. They are merely changing government controls.

Nothing to do with science. There’s no data showing hospitals being overrun by the “mighty” Delta variant.

Data proves the opposite.

Prince William’s wife now has to isolate after coming in contact with Covid positive person

Interestingly, she takes the lateral flow covid tests. Teenagers have been able to thwart them with orange and lemon juice giving a false positive.

This left me to wonder what happens to people with high acid in their body...even if it doesn’t rise to the level of metabolic acidosis.

“Learn to live with this virus”.

Isn’t that what we have learned to do with the common cold and the seasonal flus?

We don’t shut down for sniffles.

We don’t expect to “eliminate the virus”
