I chatted with @nicktaq on @SkyNews yesterday about B1617.2 - the variant first sequenced in India.

I’m going to see my 80-year-old dad next week who I haven’t seen for 15 months, and I don’t plan to hug him, especially since I haven’t been vaccinated.

The government have said at every stage that each stage of the unlocking should be irreversible. At the moment SAGE is suggesting B1617.2 could be significantly more transmissible, which suggests we are not meeting the 4th test of the roadmap.
Even though the genie is out of the bottle, there are still somethings we can do:
Border control, including mandatory managed isolation for all arrivals;
Support for isolation;
Surge testing and vaccination;
Fixing the test and trace system to keep on top of new outbreaks…

Is the onus in the public now?
I think the ‘be cautious’ messages from the government is an abdication fo responsibility. I would urge people to be cautious about mixing indoors, but I think people will mix to the degree to which the law says they are allowed to.
