Indeed, tora. Many month slater than necessary but better late than never.
Still there are people calling it "reckless", "lunacy", "insane" etc. Here's an example from an article yesterday:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-10531705/ALEXANDRA-SHULMANS-NOTEBOOK-want-life-need-Covid-rules.html
I find it very odd that the relaxation of rules should be described as "unnecessary." The requirement for "rules" (i.e. restrictive legislation, particularly that which confines people to their homes) is precisely the opposite. Those imposing them should provide an absolutely sound case for their continuing need. As soon as that need disappears the rules should be ditched. I find it astonishing that a UK journalist should suggest that a reason has to be found to end restrictive legislation rather than a justification to be presented to continue it.
Personally I would not be prepared to risk my cash on there being a substantial rise in hospitalisations if the requirement for isolation is ended. The number of daily admissions in England is half the level of mid-January. The numbers with Covid who are not isolating far outnumber those who do and I doubt there will be any significant difference in those requiring hospital admission. But even if there is, that's what hospitals are there for - to treat the sick.
