Sturgeon needs to be applauded for what she is doing with regards to Covid. The number of cases in the UK are nearing the same peaks that we saw at the turn of the year, and while the vaccine means a lot don't suffer as much as they would I find it unbelievable that "Freedom Day" is still going ahead!! Watching Boris is like watching the Trump train wreck but from a distance this time, he says he is listening to the science but the issue must be which individual is guiding him because we all know there are enough nut jobs in the scientific world. By all means open things up, but make masks mandatory while walking around inside and put some social distancing measures in, its can be done while still allowing businesses to get going again.
Over here most restrictions were lifted in June, people still wear masks voluntarily when its busy here in California but you are seeing less and less being worn in most places. The numbers here are rising as the Delta variant gets a hold in places but so far hospitalizations and deaths are almost exclusively the unvaccinated, and that is the problem we have. States like Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri and Tennessee all have vaccination rates around 40% and yet still the Republicans will not advise people to get the vaccine that was created under Trump!!
