How the hell are 40k plus getting infected everyday? I just don’t understand it.

People are mixing together in large gatherings and day to day. The virus is highly infectious.

Schools, the highest number of cases is in the 10-19 year old range, by far. Next is the 40-49 year olds, which is less than half of the 10-19.

It's a worry, I fear that some restrictions will return, a couple of weeks ago I thought that we had this under control and mask-wearing was a thing of the past.

Highly unlikely. Those infections among the 10-19s are making up about 150,000 cases over a fortnight. Most if not all will make a(quick) recovery. This is borne out by the low Hospital occupancy and the high admissions/discharges

If it gets significantly worse there’ll be no choice, NHS is on its knees as it is.

I like your optimism. Bed blocking is causing serious issues at hospitals.

How long does it take to get a GP appt, waits at A&E, waits for ambulances and then waiting to get into A&E, nurses leaving (inc my wife), bed blocking due to lack of care home space. In a specialist unit near me one patient blocking a bed for 20 days, but everything ok, right.
My eye consultant has gone to Aus, young guy plus his wife who is also a doctor. Had enough of under funded health service.

Might I ask on what basis (opinion, metrics etc) you make this judgment?

The NHS is facing multiple systemic shocks, all of which are well documented in the press - staffing, COVID, years of underfunding

It is a phenomenal organisation that shows remarkable resilience, but it has a lot of challenges all at once

None of those things are new. COVID has been around long enough for the health service to deal with it, in my opinion.

Every winter we’re told the NHS is on its knees. If that’s the case every year the only constant is the organisation itself and that should be addressed.

Waiting lists are shit at the moment but as an organisation it’s still functioning.

The reason I’ve said that the NHS isn’t on its knees is because when people discuss the NHS they seem to think parroting that it is means it’s true - based on nothing more than anecdotes.

Realistically it may not be being as efficient as it could be - but I think it needs to look at itself as well as blaming everything else going on from pandemics to underfunding.

My daughter is a teacher and she’s caught Covid this week, probably from her work.
 
Hopefully it becomes something like chicken pox, where kids just get it and [mostly] recover from completely. Still no data on how long the vaccine is effective for after the third jab. If it's only a matter of months again, this is with us forever imo.

It is a can be a serious disease in adults and whilst unusual you can catch it twice
