Boris Johnson urged to defy scientists who want to delay 21st June lockdown lift
And today a minister warned the fight against Covid is "not like a movie where you kill the baddie" and then "roll credits".
"We were always told that the most important feature of all of this is to protect the most vulnerable. The PM's spokesman said: "We have received the best scientific evidence and data throughout the pandemic and that has guided our decisions. And former Brexit Secretary David Davis said: "The tendency to suppress alternative opinions has got worse during the Covid crisis.
“Rather than rolling back on the roadmap, the Government should be focused on enabling firms to operate while living alongside the virus and putting the UK back on a path to recovery and renewal. "The Government’s own events research programme has shown that music events can be held safely, with almost no Covid impact, so there is no reason to keep us closed any longer.”Prof Robert Dingwall, a member of the NERVTAG advisory group, said ministers should "push on" with the roadmap.
He said: “It's not like a movie that you kill the baddie suddenly end of, roll credits, Coronavirus is over. We will be living with this for some time.
