If ONLY Covid mattered then yeah we’d all stay in lockdown until we were all vaccinated - but that’s obviously not possible. She isn’t thinking of the financial and mental health implications to millions of just pushing back and pushing back, and nor should she be expected to. And let’s me honest, it doesn’t take a genius to realise that if you don’t come into contact with many people then the chance of contracting the virus reduces significantly. But unfortunately the Government do have to consider all angles to this, so they can’t just take her advice without severe repercussions - just as they can’t take advice from a purely business and financial point of view either. Sums it up well I think. Doesn't take a genius to work out that lockdown forever will reduce deaths. It is the cost that brings though and trying to balance risk as a society. Literally no one bats an eyelid when every winter thousands die from flu. Vaccine will hopefully make covid the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st dan Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Report from the hospital my wife works at in the North West, 2 Covid patients admitted last week (the first ones in over a month): One is 39 and was vaccinated 6 days before she admitted (so vaccine didn’t have time to take effect). The other patient is in their early 60s, but hasn’t had their vaccination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of an accountancy point anyway, it’s not as if no-one died yesterday, and the numbers will likely be higher tomorrow to reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an important point to remember, the numbers will possibly be higher over the next day or so due to bank holiday catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Discounting the last week as I’m sure they’ll get uplifted retrospectively, 3 is the the lowest we’ve had in a day since the the start of the pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agreed. Considering this Variant kicked off a couple of weeks ago we should know the effect its having by next week. Data looks flat at the moment, and still lower than models predicted just due to reopening I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall I think there was a day or two last summer in July. With no vaccine may I add.. make of that what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Without looking to rain on the parade, I feel cases over the next day or so might be up on what they have been after the bank holiday has filtered through. Something to bare in mind so if they do rise tomorrow then it’s not as shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
