Jenrick told the BBC's Andrew Marr on Sunday that he was confident that all coronavirus measures would be lifted on July 19 as planned, stating that the success of the country's vaccine programme will allow for a return to normality.
Comment: The virus is seasonal and the country has probably achieved some kind of herd immunity, and so any ability to return to a new normal is not because of the experimental vaccine program.
While acknowledging that it was possible that cases might rise as restrictions are eased, he said that Britain would have to rethink how it deals with the disease.
"[We] now have to move into a different period where we learn to live with the virus, we take precautions and we as individuals take personal responsibility," he said.
According to Jenrick, "the data is in the right place" to support lifting mask requirements in certain settings - although he cautioned that the choice ultimately rests with Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The minister predicted that people would "come to different conclusions" over masks, and that he trusted citizens "to exercise good judgement" when deciding under what circumstances it might be appropriate to don a face covering. He also signaled that those who have been fully vaccinated could be exempt from quarantine rules while traveling abroad.
Comment: So it'll be an apartheid society where the vaccinated are allowed greater freedoms?
In separate comments made to Sky News, the minister said that he would choose not to wear a mask if the rules allowed.
"Some members of society will want to do so for perfectly legitimate reasons but it will be a different period where we as private citizens make these judgements rather than the government telling you what to do," he said, stressing that once restrictions are lifted, "the state won't be telling you what to do" anymore.
Comment: If the minister is so naive as to actually believe that this power grab is over he probably isn't qualified for a job in politics.
There is still a heated debate over whether it is prudent to lift restrictions or not on July 19. The so-called 'Freedom Day' was originally scheduled for June, but was postponed after the government argued that measures were still necessary. In recent weeks, London has seen a number of large protests against lockdowns, signaling growing frustration with the rules, many of which have been in place nearly without interruption for over a year.

This was a “norm” during flu season, if you were sick you stayed away from other people, and people understood. They sure have done a number on “common sense” in the last few years.
They can't mandate an experimental vaccine so they'll have to find some other excuse to jab everyone in the time left. The targeting of children in very sinister and shows the agenda is indeed depopulation by stealth sterilisation; why else would there be an obsession with vaccinating those not at risk? This coming winter is going to be interesting!

I don't want to know how you know all that, I imagine it's all on the internet, but doesn't it make you wonder what draws people into things that are as sick as that. Who could think any of that is a good idea? I have heard some absolutely horrid things about Hitlery and baby's blood, it is difficult to even comprehend a human acting like that. So, obviously, some who look human probably aren't.
