Who would look at this graph and think "yep, let's go for it!"
It seems like they've forgotten what exponential growth looks like again, just like they did last summer. Look what a great position we were in April / May - squandered.
I don't know the differences between 'case' and 'deaths' and whether they're decoupled now, or whatever stat it is they've used to justify moving on. It seems that there should be at least some positive correlation between the number of cases and the number of deaths (i.e. as cases go up, then deaths go up). Whatever, I imagine they've had to select the data quite significantly to make a solid case for encouraging people to go back to normal.

Decreasing the sensitivity of the app - Keep everyone going to work regardless. Feels like they're just turning covid off, time for the plebs to crack on.
