That would give venues and pub companies a time to analyse what's happened and make any changes needed. More importantly it gives the government a real chance to look at the data as its coming in, if things are looking worrying then the closure would obviously need to be extended

The problem, in my view, is that they have opened up so many things in such a short amount of time that, if there is a spike, we won't have a clue what the real cause is.

Is it grandparents getting sick looking after grandkids whose parents have gone back to work
Is it schoolkids spreading the virus in schools, being asymptomatic, going home and spreading it further?
Is it people arriving from overseas (borders opening again soon)
Is it the easing of the 2m socially distancing rule
Is it people being allowed to holiday, and travel extensively
Is it the virus prevailing in certain conditions
