The positive tests are still mounting up - even though the vax roll-out is continuing and apparently half the people now hospitalized have had both jabs?
This seems to be acceptable because the death rate has fallen, but I worry (not only for the safety and survival of everyone) , but that the relaxation of restrictions will impact significantly on the season.
PS: Just read the Tokyo Olympics are in danger of cancellation.
Does anyone see another lockdown of sorts, to preserve NHS services and try to decrease C.V.? Really do not have much faith in either Governments these days btw.

It’s going to be really tough if the jabs aren’t stopping C.V. Hopefully for most it might just be mild. Better to remain cautious I think.

As long as Boris Carlof is in charge I can't see any other lockdown as it was before.

OAB2 and Ged, as you'll be aware the vax roll out is to provide a high level of immunity to C.V. It doesn't prevent you from catching the C.V. but it should go a long way to ensuring that it doesn't kill you.

In this country, according to Public Health Scotland, figures published today;-
* Age 18-29 / 69% vaccinated
* Age 30-39 / 81% vaccinated
* Age 40-49 / 90% vaccinated
* Age 50-54 / 97% vaccinated
* Age 55-79 / 100% vaccinated
* Age 80+ / 99% vaccinated

As restrictions are relaxed there
Was always going to be an increase in cases, the important factor is that those individuals (if vaccinated) will not end up in hospital seriously ill or worse.

I doubt this or another other country in the world can afford another lock down whether for economic reasons or mental health reasons.

Going forward, I don't personally see the need to publish figures on C.V. cases every single day as we don't get daily updates on any other C.V., disease or sickness. If we did the changes are you wouldn't leave the house.

This is something as a species we will adapt to, as we have with the Flu, Ebola, various plagues and many others besides over the centuries.

As a by the by, the NHS in Scotland is on its knees. The Nurses are by and large burnt out, and they are now, in many cases, facing an almost impossible backlog of patients who's treatment has had to be put on hold in order to deal with this C.V.

I know this first hand and have seen the workload, the stress and the strain that this C.V. has put on them.

Keep our Nurses, Doctors and Scientists in your prayers because without them we're all Fecked. ☘🍀☘.
