Is there going to be an address to the nation?

As far as I can tell we'll be better off after Wednesday. Able to meet family outdoors.

I think they're making the wrong choice, FTR, but I do not envy them having to do the choosing.

Absolutely agree.

We are able to meet up with family for the first time in weeks, in tier two

I am going to take this as light at the end of an ongoing and really shite tunnel.

Enjoy Stealth I will always remember seeing my sister and her kids approach over a hill on the lockdown lifting.

Thanks. I'm probably going to get rained on aren't I :)

Same here.

Right there's now a link where you can put your postcode in.
We can meet in a group if fewer than or equal to six, but not at a venue. So I assume we can meet for a walk in the park or in a garden.

Outside I mean. Inside still banned :(

@StealthPolarBear

I'm glad it's brought you (&others) some happiness.

But as far as virus transmission goes the entire thing is a COMPLETE clusterfuck from start to finish.

I think the update was tense because their was a bit of a fall out between participants. Being fairly reliably rumoured that SAGE wanted a circuit breaker, Johnson was on board and Sunak vetoed.

Boris was on board? It must be serious then

Maxnormal Why would Sunak have the power of veto in that situation?

I wonder if they will bring back daily briefing? They really should now that things look worse than spring

Treesofwood because he's the chancellor.

I'm in the same boat as Stealth, our restrictions have eased. I plan on celebrating by having a few friends round for a cup of coffee in the garden! 🥳 once it stops raining

I'm thinking of meeting some friends this weekend for a walk. I never suspected they would ease restrictions for us, brilliant.

Glad it gives some people the opportunity to have a cuppa together even in the freezing cold!
