Whilst I could understand a CAUTIOUS return to a more normal way of living (though pre Covid days can never be found again), this isn’t some caring & considerate act for the good of the people, but all about saving his sorry political arse!

.@BorisJohnson just said the UK should be more like Germany, where workers don't have a "habit of going into work when not well"

Key comparison:
– Statutory sick pay in Germany 50% pay for 84 weeks.
– Statutory sick pay in UK is £96.35 per week for 28 weeks.

Boris Johnson announces the end of most Covid restrictions in England.

Next up, Boris Johnson to announce that it’s absolutely fine to stop washing your hands after going to the toilet if you only did a wee, and that you can cough in a nana’s face for a laugh if you want.

"Try not to die"

In short, a lot of people feel as though the entire announcement could have been scrapped and replaced with this.

Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. #DowningStreetBriefing pic.twitter.com/x9m7gGHOB0
