    We need a soft landing
    Plan B Covid restrictions end today in England

    Plan B restrictions have been lifted from today in England. Face
    coverings are no longer mandatory in indoor venues, or advised in
    schools. Covid passes are no longer mandated for large events and people
    are not advised to work from home any more. But this does not delight everyone…

    From today all measures under Plan B have been lifted in England.

    Meaning:

    â—‰ Face coverings are no longer mandatory in indoor venues

    â—‰ COVID Passes are now voluntary for large events and nightclubs

    â—‰ People are no longer being advised to work from home

    Responses to the tweet from 10 Downing Street were divided. Anger about political motivations and fear were juxtaposed with relief and cynicism.





    The mixed feelings are unsurprising given the government’s U-turns on
    face masks, the lack of definitive evidence in favour of masks, and the numerous revelations that they were intended to be ‘signals’. Covid
    risks and fear were amplified to encourage compliance with the rules,
    and this has created a generalised feeling of anxiety which endures,
    evidenced by the emergence of Covid Anxiety Syndrome.

    The mixed reaction to lifting restrictions also runs through the
    commentary from scientists, including on SAGE, and in the UK media.
    Perhaps their scientific advice is influenced by sharing in the
    collective fear, detectable in their colourful warnings.

    Furthermore, there is a trend among advisors towards a more
    self-consciously planned society which values health and environment
    above liberty and autonomy - social controls introduced through the
    pandemic were a way of achieving that. That’s not easy to let go of.

    Some people celebrating the relaxation of rules today would like face
    masks to be banned outright. I understand that view, especially in the
    case of schools, but there has to be a choice period. After that, maybe concerns about a more old-fashioned notion security will re-surface. Do
    you remember before the pandemic, if you want into a bank or post office
    you would see a sign asking people to remove face coverings? Our
    security priorities have changed for the time being.

    There is particular concern about the clinically vulnerable. The
    Guardian ran a headline today:


    These fears are understandable after two years of constant
    doom-mongering and very genuine risks for the clinically vulnerable. Yet
    98% of adults in England have antibodies and the vaccine and booster are available to offer protection from serious illness due to Covid. The
    clinically vulnerable are now arguably in the same situation they were
    in before the pandemic when they would also take precautions about
    crowded indoor venues in winter, for example.

    Fear was deliberately conveyed upon the British people with no exit
    strategy and no plan for recovery. The resulting anxiety and anger are
    to be expected. Fear has put a brake on recovery.

    People will need a soft landing. The route to recovery is mutual empathy
    and remembering that time heals.

    The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
    the U.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
    finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
    among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
    asymptomatic) in order to http://bit.ly/convince_it_forward (John
    15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
    doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
    best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
    mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
    Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
    slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids that render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.

    Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest
    ) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

    So how are you ?









    ...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,
