SIR – Your recent leader and letters (May 25) drew attention to the multiple nonsenses emanating from Whitehall – particularly the ruling on amateur choirs. Yesterday there was also further confusion over travel rules.
What the public needs is a guide on which of the Government’s pronouncements are merely advice and which have the force of law.
I fear that we have become so supine during the pandemic and the lockdowns that we are losing the confidence to trust our own judgment.

SIR – The suggestion that our freedoms will be curtailed beyond June 21 (“Vaccine not enough to avoid self-isolating”, report, May 25) has nothing to do with protection from the virus and everything to do with extending control over us.

SIR – In the interests of perspective, I should like to see the daily number of non-Covid deaths in England and Wales (around 1,400) reported alongside the number of Covid-related deaths (seven yesterday).

SIR – On Saturday I visited my favourite pub for the first time since mid-December. The staff had carefully organised everything and the beer tasted like nectar.
The pub, which is not big, was busy and there was a lot of talking and laughter. As I sat there sipping my pint, I couldn’t help wondering why Oliver Dowden, the Culture Secretary, and the Public Health England enforcers believe it’s safe for me to be in such an environment but that it would have been too risky for me to mingle the evening before with fewer than 30 people at a socially distanced choir practice with strict Covid protocols.
