Will UK Covid vaccine success keep virus at bay?
Next week will see the most significant lifting of restrictions yet in England, with indoor mixing to be allowed. The rest of the UK is making similar steps.
Some describe that as being only partially vaccinated. But that can underplay the significance of that first dose, which provides most of the protection - the second acts to boost immunity and is important for long-lasting protection. Sir John Bell, a member of the government's vaccine taskforce, believes we may indeed be at a "tipping point".
Another factor is how the public reacts. Even if the government lifts restrictions completely in June, as it has suggested, it is unclear how quickly "normal" behaviour will return.
