What could happen is that legal prohibitions are removed but replaced by guidance. For example it might be legal to assemble 100 people in a room for a chess tournament, but guidance issued by a government, local authority, insurers or ECF might say NO for most practical purposes.

Re: COVid19-What's wrong with UK?
Well private bodies like insurers or indeed the ECF may indeed want to set their own "guidance".
The point is surely though that once things become no longer prohibited by law, the pressure to permit them will likely be considerable.

The right to say goodbye to parents before they die, for instance.

Which is true, but doesn't explain why he helped him get there, and worked for him when he didMr Cummings continues that he is "happy for No 10 to publish every email I received and sent July 2019-November 2020".
He also calls for an "urgent parliamentary inquiry into the government's conduct over the Covid crisis", adding that he thinks Mr Johnson has fallen "far below" the standards of "competence" the "country deserves".

Re: COVid19-What's wrong with UK?
But now it looks like we're heading into a third wave because the UK government is so utterly useless. It absolutely beggars belief how they can keep making the same mistakes over and over again
. Well, at least I get my second shot on Friday, so I might be alright, depending on its efficacy against the India variant.

We aren't heading into a "third wave", this is pure sensationalism.
Though yes, our PM should have been less concerned with keeping Modi sweet at literally any cost.

Tonight on BBC2 9pm until 10.05 pm.
Unvaccinated
From The Sunday Times, Culture Section
"The professor Hannah Fry meets seven unvaccinated people to investigate why five million remain unprotected against Covid-19, and to find out if any of them will change their mind about their decision."
"Hannah Fry - mathematician and presenter of BBC2's recent 'Making Sense of Cancer' - investigates why eight per cent of the British population have never had an anti-Covid jab. Seven unvaccinated people are brought together with experts, and eventually invited to receive their first dose of the vaccine. "

I can't think of a better example for this thread. The Government may have given up on Operation Terror, but the BBC never will.
