The pub/restaurant beer garden thing, is basically saying pubs/restaurants are closed until they can serve indoors to me. Even if we got a heat wave, most places, if they even have a beer garden, have like 2 tables or something. It will not be worth it, for the pubs to open to serve 2 tables of people. I mean, its nice to have some kind of plan, but that bits not been thouight through too much I think!

Schools all back at the same time sounds a bit disastrous, BUT...a hell of a lot of the high risk people have been vaccinated now. I know the second dose makes it a bit more effective, but the trials said smething along the lines of the second dose boosts it by 5% or something? So its not THAT much different really. Aslong as those who would get it badly are a bit safer, I honestly cannot see the problem even if we do get 'another wave'. Meaning of course, aslong as its not another dodgy mutation that can evade antibodies or something that causes the next wave. If its a strain that the vaccine is effective against (and it seems that most are) then...its just like a wave of flu/cold sweeping the country...assuming the vaccines do work as they say. If the vaccines do NOT protect that well against serious infection, then its a whole other story.
