    Need those 2nd jabs in arms. I had mine a couple of hours ago.

    Wise decision to delay lifting restrictions.

    If only the bufoon had acted and closed the border with India sooner.

    Wales has now first jabbed 88.7% and second jabbed 60.2% of people aged 18 as of 20th of June.

    At some point the focus will switch again to asking why 11.3% haven't accessed their first jab and if there is anything that can be done to make any of them feel more confident about it.

    Amongst that will be people who've yet to have their jab but still intend to get one. For instance though all young people have been offered one their jab appointment may not have come around yet

    I think 90%+ uptake would be great and probably better than the government expected.

    Science means knowledge and science is used to project multiple scenarios in advance.

    In which case I feel there are several times where politicians have ignored "the science" and focused on the "follow" part of the phrase. Some things which could/should have been anticipated weren't - it's very unpopular to take action unless data to back you up, at times anticipatory moves were made (Portugal travel restrictions during Gamma Variant) and were criticised - and action only being taken after clear data had come to light even if that meant action only much after it was needed.

    Too many inconsistencies to produce a catch-all statement but I feel "follow" has had emphasis during spread of Alpha and Delta Variant - though I accept that may be outcome bias as "follow" or "the science" may have been used throughout and those two are where it went wrong.

    Re: Coronavirus update

    I wonder if the Government let this variant in just to make more people take up the vaccine quicker, look at the queues yesterday for example…..we know the vaccine works still which is very fortunate

    No. They need to stop the Delta variant spreading.

    The original 'need' to lock down was to protect the NHS. Covid is now having a marginal impact on the NHS.

    It is rising but it is less of a threat against people who have been vaccinated, and it is supressed by the vaccine from passing. If we work as you say we will be locked down for ever, as 1 variant after another comes along. Soon it will be winter and they'll be telling us the weather is to bad to open up.
    Covid is now the 31st highest cause of death in Wales. No deaths for 2 weeks.it is becoming stupid.

    Another lockdown in winter would be unthinkable. We must get things in order now instead of accepting rises in hospitalizations & then lockdown as inevitable. The harms of lockdown are huge and we now have vaccines, testing, and isolation measures to avoid blanket restrictions.

    What does that mean? Earlier on I said at some point focus will switch to reaching out again to those who have not yet taken the vaccine, see tweet below, but also drumming home need for good ventilation/what that is, continuing to avoid crowded indoor spaces and probably keep up the mask wearing. Testing and tracking is far, far easier with low case numbers.

    Looking at those younger groups, we see that Scotland becomes the first to top 75% in the 30-39 band. Great news! Below 30, Wales is making very slow progress, suggesting it is going to max out at around 70%.

    strong rumours this morning the government has caved into Uefa and will allow thousands of football VIP's to attend the Euro 2020 finals at wembley without quarantining

    think this will raise a few eyebrows if that happens

    Re: Coronavirus update

    Reasons to be (cautiously) optimistic:

    COVID cases in Scotland have been rising steadily for 6+ weeks, but the number of patients in hospital with COVID has barely risen over that time.

    This is very different to how things looked at a similar stage in October.

    We're in new territory now and hopefully better territory too.
