April 13, 2021Have fun, but not too much.

This is the leitmotif of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the aftermath of the reopening of pubs and outdoor restaurants in England after a forced closure of almost four months that led thousands of people to crowd the streets of London, starting with the famous Soho.

"Infections and deaths from Covid-19 will begin to rise again as restrictions are relaxed despite the success of vaccinations for the over 50s and vulnerable groups," Johnson warned today.

A reopening caused a flood of people to pour into the streets of England, and in particular of London, who celebrated the return to life, cheerfully toasting, even until after midnight, consuming liters and liters of beer non-stop, but not only.

To the point that today the Mail writes that "after the glorious 12 (April)" - a reference perhaps to the glorious revolution - half the population woke up with "hangover", that untranslatable and all British word, which condenses into a handful of letters all the symptoms - from headache, to drowsiness, to a general state of weakness - that afflict His Majesty's subjects who the previous night had a party going down heavy with alcohol-based drinks.



In any case, determined to administer the success that has come from the last 4 months of successful management of the pandemic, especially thanks to vaccination, the prime minister has put his hands on even more.

"The bulk of the work to reduce Covid has been done by the lockdown. So, when we unlock the result it will inevitably be that we will see more infections and unfortunately we will see more hospitalizations and deaths, people must know", explained the premier;

adding that "I don't see reasons to change at the moment" the gradual exit path from lockdown, but that "it is very important that people continue to be cautious".
