Lockdown to be eased for England's most clinically vulnerable

The more than 2 million people who have been “shielding” from Covid-19 in England because they are deemed to be clinically extremely vulnerable will be allowed to spend time outdoors from Monday for the first time in 10 weeks.

Boris Johnson praised their resilience as their particular lockdown measures are set to be eased. The communities secretary, Robert Jenrick, will confirm the move on Sunday.

Jenrick said: “Those shielding from coronavirus have made huge sacrifices over recent months to protect both themselves and the NHS – they deserve our thanks and our support for their efforts.

“Incidence rates of coronavirus are now significantly lower than before these measures were put in place.

“That’s why we are focused on finding the right balance between continuing to protect those at the greatest clinical risk, whilst easing restrictions on their daily lives to make the difficult situation more bearable – particularly enabling the contact with loved ones they and we all seek.”

How irresponsible is Boris and his team being now?

Wanting to be seen as politically correct they are saying now when there are hundreds more people infected today than there were at the beginning of lockdown that it is ok to go out if extremely vulnerable.

Protecting the vulnerable is the key to keeping deaths down.

It is ok to discriminate if it saves lives.

It was always only advise and not law. Please tell everyone the risks they face and let them decide.
