The wave is in infections, not deaths hopefully. However, a whole load of new infections does run the risk of mutations that the vaccines may not work against. But, I am now of the view to run the risk
Perhaps I misunderstood you, in which case I apologise. My point was and is, there’s been far too much blame and too much judging each other for my liking. Lockdown has been far harder on some than others. The real cost is going to take years to evaluate.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-57309538 This is interesting - a town in Brazil vaccinated nearly all of its population and saw a 95% reduction in deaths. They worked out you only need 75% vaccinated to control it.
Young people are less likely to have severe side effects, hospitalisation and death, so the risk is smaller.
I think we're about 50% of the adult population at the minute, or just under perhaps? The final stretch.
From the BBC "The latest figures show 25,734,719 people in the UK have had two jabs, while 39,477,158 - some 74.9% of the adult population - have received a first dose"
Agreed, though knowing a lot of people with it, you really don't want long Covid, and that doesn't discriminate.
