Odd post title.
The hospitality sector needs a significant boost - irrespective of the health considerations, it is pretty much undeniable that, economically, EOTHO was a success for the hospitality sector last time round.
If we accept that vaccination is working, then EOTHO 2 would appear to be a pretty good idea. |  | | |

A good idea if you ask me. The hospitality sector has been left on its arse for the last however many months.
When I ate out last time, I felt completely safe, seated a distance from any other table, ordering food via an app and having near-to-no human contact. That compared with how I saw Sainsbury’s last weekend, I know where I’d feel safer.
The above all combined with all vulnerable people (should) have been vaccinated by the time this is implemented. |  | | |

Given the medical experts appeared to say this was a source of the spike first time round, why would you do it again?
Maybe if the pubs have the vaccine passport in place by then, it makes sense | | | |

I feel the same way. We used the Eat Out scheme a fair bit and as ever I haunted a good few bars too. I never once felt unsafe with the precautions they and I (sanitiser etc) took. Way better than the supermarket I was in on Saturday or the 20 odd people grouped closely together chatting etc waiting for their schoolchildren yesterday.
Hospitality was thrown under the bus by Johnson, because he could getaway with it. Sent a good signal and all that If there is a problem with transmission in near empty socially distanced pubs and restaurants, get some boots on the ground and inspect these places. Use some testing capacity, whatever. There are ways.
I see no reasons for small businesses like hairdressers and small retail not to open either. Just police them properly to ensure social distancing rules are applied. |  | | |

Why do anything ever again, EG?

I think if you look at the data of countries at the same time, whether doing eat out to help out or not, cases followed a very similar trajectory. The main drivers of the second wave were schools and universities, plus catching it at home (miles higher than hospitality.)
Why not encourage people to eat out rather in larger spaces, with strict controls in place - especially once the most at risk have been vaccinated?
Schools must go back, but why can you go and work out at a gym from mid April (work out to help out (the virus) out. Why non- essential shops? |  |

Like others have said... In the brief time they were open I felt more comfortable in dining establishments (pubs, diners, cafes, restaurants) than every week when I do my shopping or with my elderly uncle. He insists on going even though his shopping list is virtually the same every week (7 ready meals, plus a few Rustlers products, milk, bread, oven chips, frozen mash and dog food) |  |

I'm not stirring, simply reflecting the views of what appears to be the majority of the experts from a medical angle.
I very much want things to open again, but in a controlled way.
No stirring, just not lapping up Boris and his gangs appetite for risk. | | | |

Let's face it, supermarkets "think" (know?) they won't be closed down , whereas the catering industry got on board with the rules as they knew failure to do so resulted in unilateral closure aside from any lockdown closure.I
Maybe the coronavirus marshals need to close down one of the biggest supermarkets for breaches before that industry properly addresses what happens once inside their doors. Outside they appear to have it sorted. | |

The story covered below is an even bigger transmitter of Covid and we were told last week all kids would have a twice weekly test and masks in classrooms. No more...

Utter nonsense. All shops and hospitality outlets revive regular visits from environmental health to check that they are compliant. Those who aren’t are given a list of what they need to do before a follow up in seven days time. | |

We are regularly visited by the Covid Stasi and on NYE we had a cop car parked outside monitoring us.
I'm not sure about the Eat out supposed spike either. I can't remember the exact info but some hot shot from Youngs was on the radio the other day showing official info that the infections in pubs were very low. Every time I went in the pub it was extremely secure - not so the taxi rank after though! |  |

Given that the evidence is at best inconclusive about its impact last time, in the same way the masses of people on Bournemouth beach had no impact though I remember you saying at the time it was madness and wait 2 weeks for the consequences, I think that in your desperation to post this with a negative spin you are forgetting that this time it will be done against the back drop of the vaccine success.
Are you suggesting no promotions should be allowed post lockdown for an industry that is desperate and on its knees? |  | | |
