" Last evening, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the news that many had expected, and others had feared.

The complete removal of Covid-19 restrictions has been postponed until 21st July.

Johnson refused to commit 100% to that date, but said that prudence in the face of the virulence of the delta of Indian strain of the virus meant that as many as 10 million more people could receive vaccinations.

It is ironic that having been criticized for being slow to react to growing cases in the early days of the pandemic with delays in lockdown rumoured to have cost perhaps thousands of lives that a final, cautionary approach is attracting headlines like will we ever be free?

The economic recovery is unlikely to be set back too far, if at all, by the delay.
