Friday, AM: Boris Johnson says he would not take the knee: 'I don't believe in gestures'
Friday, PM:
Tomorrow there will be a moment of remembrance for those lost before their time, Johnson says. And on Sunday, there will be a clap for the NHS on its anniversary, he says.

they're still not bringing back club cricket, seemingly out of a desire to destroy the sport

They've cancelled the daily briefings; they've pulled a Trump by acting as if Channel 4 News doesn't exist; the chances to interrogate ministers on the choices they make are being progessively narrowed, and what does the British press do when given the opportunity to quiz Johnson? Allows him to waste 10 minutes on fucking club cricket and smirk over some rehearsed spontaneous cricketing puns.

To be fair the Guardian reporter did bring up Stanley the Greek and Cummings and was the only reporter not offered a follow up question.

Literally the only good thing about cricket is the fact that after exporting it Britain is now soundly thrashed by her colonies on the regular. Long may this continue

Some v interesting polling from @RedfieldWilton for @BBCNewsnight. Among other things, says that 70% of those polled think that the UK will see a second Covid wave. pic.twitter.com/If73azrMwP— Lewis Goodall (@lewis_goodall) July 3, 2020
OK I'm going to call the second wave for January.
― Matt DC, Friday, 3 July 2020 23:07 (three years ago) link
Seems very unlikely there'll be one with the polling that way unless people massively relax, and even then it's still summer and no one's moving from one part of the country to the other. If this continues - bar the occasional localised outbreak - people will feel fine by December and there'll be an explosion of social activity, people travelling round the country etc.

I had been figuring September/Oct for the first big flare-ups, depending on weather and how many are forced back to work but if the US continues to get worse like it is that will scare people all summer. Hard to imagine us getting through Christmas safely though so yea, a Jan/Feb disaster (with added flu + Brexit) seems likely.
