Interesting article in the weekend ft where various scientists admitted they had been overly pessimistic about the effect of the 19/7 relaxation for the simple reason that people had actually ignored it and continued with very limited close contact interaction. Hence, the same acientists were warning again about the risks of cases rising rapidly whenever people did start reverting to more normal levels of social interaction. In effect, all the scare mongering served to defeat the whole purpose of the relaxation ie to have an increase now rather than in the autumn.
