COVID cases in England soar by 76.5% in a week, ONS estimates showhttps://news.sky.com/story/76-5-incr...-show-12324709
This is the highest level since the week to 16 April and is up from 48,500 people - one in 1,120 people - in the week ending 22 May.
Boris Johnson is under pressure to press ahead with the unlocking - dubbed "freedom day" by some - following the successful rollout of vaccines.
However, concerns persist over the spread of the Indian variant, also known as the Delta variant.

BJ uncorked the genie - has he got the bottle to put the cork back in .....
We should also consider that most people, certainly older people, have had both vaccinations or will have had very shortly.
We should also look at the number of deaths which I think will reflect the consequence of the vaccination programme. I believe that the idea is that having been vaccinated people are far less likely to suffer serious consequences and death through contracting the virus and any infection is likely to be far milder or even unnoticeable.
Assuming I am correct, I think he should do as planned, lift the restrictions and allow the country - its people and its businesses - to restore some normality.

Even if deaths are minimal and symptoms milder, 5,000 cases a day is 35,000 a week, 150,000 a month, 2,000,000 a year (extrapolated) .....
That will incur a lot of sick leave, quarantine and isolation.
BJ and Soapy need to do something soon .....
A further 6,238 confirmed cases in the UK were announced by the government on Friday.

Airlines add capacity ahead of Portugal changehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57353048
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the decision on Portugal, which includes the islands of Madeira and the Azores, had to be made because of a rise in cases of the Delta variant, first detected in India.
"It was not a decision I wanted to take," he said. "But we're absolutely determined to keep this country safe, especially from novel variants coming from overseas."
