There isn’t a chance any country can avoid our numbers in the long run without keeping some form of restrictions. At least we are having them in the summer. I think we are playing it right.Pro rata it's about 2300 cases you're at 40k?
People on hospital up by a third after 6 weeks of total freedom.I know you like to spin a positive story but let’s be realistic here. 1st August there were 5,900 in hospital. Little over a month of warm weather later we have 2,200 more people in hospital. With it predicted to get worse as the weather changes. In the last couple of hours hospitals in Cornwall have cancelled surgeries as they are overwhelmed.
There are quite a few challenges, it’s pretty much universally agreed the vaccine effectiveness is waning. The person who devised the Astra Zeneca said earlier it’s almost inevitable at some point there will be a worst mutation then Delta.
Im pretty much back to normal now for the time being but it would be naive to assume we are out the woods.
You can just argue life needs to go on as normal without spinning a yarn that the pandemic is done as all the experts are saying it evidently isn’t.
