Did Borris basically just say the the cases of infection are still too high?
But yet onward he go's with opening up and making it even worse
'Too high' ... perhaps a (generous?) interpretation might be too high to proceed more quickly?
'Making it even worse' - (sadly) we'll only be able to judge that in due course.

The inaccurate regional figures for Wales and the North West are nominally pretty high. It may update on Friday for the downward trend.

Boris at his bumbling worst in today’s press conference. At least the Scientists have the ability to make a concise and clear point.

well what you know all 5 government tests have been met so full steam head with unlock.
Sorry Borris but your not that convincing
Support bubble good idea but likely to become a dog's dinner with miss use all over the shop.

An unforeseen consequence with the support bubble is it will make life feel worse for those that can't form one.

Listening to the last test, a second wave that won't overwhelm the NHS....... The NHS wasn't overwhelmed first wave with likely thousands dead every day. Just what are they going to put up with before they blink!

A second wave together with opening up more NHS services won't make a pretty picture. Maybe they will blink when they need to find bunk beds for all the surgical beds that in quick time will need to be found so they can move over for the extra medical ones.

Boris Johnson is considering reducing the 2-metre physical-distancing restriction to allow schools in England to reopen fully by September, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, criticised the government’s efforts to get pupils back in class, using an article in the paper to claim “mismanagement” was putting at risk the welfare and education of children.

The newspaper reports that Johnson is looking at following World Health Organization advice and reducing physical distancing to 1 metre - guidance already followed by countries including France, Denmark and Singapore.

At prime minister’s questions on Wednesday, he promised to “keep that 2-metre rule under constant review”.

Can they just not say that they appreciate the 2m rule is not feasible all the time in schools, but wish to keep it as the expected norm in all other situations?

Edit. Looks like wave 2 possibly taking place in Iran and some US states.
