He was speaking about being the room in March 2020

Peston asked him should we unlock fully on 21st of June


Prof Edmunds said "No"
Easying Restrictions would be too rash.

Sage isn't one man though, it's a collective of experts and some or perhaps the majority will have a different view to him. So, what he thinks is actually meaningless

Don’t unlock when 80% of adults are vaccinated and probably 50% are fully vaccinated and it’s the peak of summer/conditions the virus is least likely to spread. surely we can never ever unlock according to this guy? This is probably the best time to be able to do so when the vaccine has just been administered so quickly to so many people and everyone’s immunity is at its greatest with goood weather too. When else should we unlock? When people’s antibodies are gone?

Of course there will be casualties but we’ve been told covid 19 will just be a disease we live with like so many others, we have vaccinated vulnerable people in order to get it under control

I’m so bored of all these people wanting people to live inside Tiny flats, not leave the home, never travel again and definitely don’t live your life. This is not in winter/the peak, literally single digit number people are dying having had covid within 28 days… it’s such a tiny cause of death. It’d be like locking down the country because people smoke… the smoke will kill 3rd party people and more will be dying from that than covid at this point

there is a difference between unlocking and completely removing all restrictions. I fully agree we should get on with our lives, but it would be prudent to ease social distancing gradually and not just boom on a particular date, anything goes

Agree with that, think masks and social distancing should remain until next year tbh

Monday the 14th of June
is the date the Government said
they can warn us about if they can go ahead on the
Monday 21st of June date.

I mean they did not want the Indian Variant
Doubling in numbers so fast.
