Just because our numbers are low just now doesn't mean we are out of a pandemic. We are going in the right direction as large parts of the population are being vaccinated. It would be folly to open up too quickly especially as numbers are spiralling in rest of Europe. The gradualist approach is the right one, we could easily slip back in to another surge if we get it wrong.
