Nobody should look to Britain for the way forward.
Boris Johnson has his balls nailed to the wall and more people are coming at him with more nails. He has three options: resign, start a war or remove COVID restrictions. The first is not an option. The third is the easier remaining option.
The second is the back up.

On Twitter, I am seeing references to other countries cutting back on the mask mandates and vaccine passports.
Spain, Sweden and others were mentioned.... notably absent were Germany and France.

well 'they' not stopped me
here is my reasoning, I am sick to the back teeth of hearing about covid on the news/radio/internet, hearing people moan about each other
My wife started with a brain tumour about 6 weeks prior to covid starting, I had to watch, cry and suffer as she was in a coma for 2 weeks, then I had to sit with her and be told she had cancer, i had to watch her bravely face up to that fact after waking from her coma, i watched her go through brain surgery, i watched her struggle with radio therapy, i watched her be physically ill with chemotherapy and do you know what she still smiles and laughs and makes my life worth living
Failing a loved one with brain cancer (thread i made at the time)
The worst part of all this covid nonsense is people who think its been hard, oh woe is me attitude, covid is going away and their lives will end up going back to normal, we meanwhile are still waiting for a cure to cancer, so if I want to be happy and spend time with my family aint no one gonna stop me or bring me down with negativity.
So pour me a beer, get your dancing shoes on as me and my wife are going to see the live strictly come dancing tour at the end of the month, with no need for face masks with no need for a passport, so excuse me while we get on with enjoying the precious few moments we have left

I had wondered why they would set themselves up for a 'boy who cried wolf' scenario and the only thing that made logical sense to me was they intended to have a jaded populace who wouldn't believe that there was ever going to be a real threat, so that when they released a truly deadly virus, no one would really be prepared or willing to take the necessary precautions to avoid infection.

They're already trying to scare the US with a wild rabbit disease outbreak (supposedly two cases, in FL & NY state) of... Rabbit Hemorrhagic Fever, I think it was.
The news made damn sure to rub in the 80-100% bunny fatality rate, though.
Granted, this is something for our hunters to watch out for this year, but it sure stank like fanning fear flames unnecessarily (unless our resident hunters say otherwise, i dont lnow all that much about this one)
