I think it's safe to say that no-one (maybe apart from the press who like a good scare story) have said that the whole of Birmingham is threatened by lockdown. If anything there will be local lockdowns but it would show how useless the bunch of morons you helped into power really are if that did happen.
We're at a point now where we can see that the relaxations haven't pushed the hospital admissions up and therefore we can move to the next relaxation which will be next week when the kids go back to school. The kids aren't the risk there, it will be the transmission from them to others so there need to be some clear guidelines as to how parents should deal with their little loves out of school - i.e. don't send them straight down to grandmas because they need to get down the saracens head.
There also needs to be some clear guidelines on how teachers, and all other adult staff, are protected with this next step. This hasn't gone away, we are just having to tentatively take the next steps.

Must be a very clever little virus. How does it know not to cross man made geographical boundaries?
Or do you think the people are so conscientious that if their pubs, mosques, illegal raves and street parties are all shut down, they won’t think about going a mile down the road to another borough that’s not in lockdown?
The illegal raves are occurring because the dealers need a marketplace and that is where that particular drive comes from.
