I think its a good idea but I’d delay it until July as all restrictions, in theory, will be gone middle of June. Therefore in July, the weather will be good (perhaps that is optimistic!), no restrictions in place, summer holidays, it would be a good boost to restaurants to really drive up attendance and get people going.
I know several blame the scheme for the second wave but if there are no restrictions in place and events like the final of euros at Wembley are going ahead with 90k in attendance, this scheme is unlikely drive up cases especially as in July almost all the adult population should have had a vaccine
