    Sorry wasn't worded very well.

    As Confucius said, the more people infected the more chance of a mutation that the vaccine won't be effective against

    So did Hancock in the first wave. I've just read an article saying 8 of the 10 hotspots are slowing down. The growth rate is also slowing which would suggest high levels of immunity. The areas of the country not hit as hard will probably catch up when things released on Monday. I reckon there'll be outbreaks everywhere, hospitalization up, and I reckon a surge of deaths, mainly in the unvaccinated. All these variants etc, this is going on for years. I am more and more convinced that this virus is genetically engineered.

    Nothing to suggest there will be a surge in deaths. We've already spiked from 2,000 cases per day to 50,000+ and the deaths have only risen slightly

    I'd expect there'll still be a surge if infections start going in hundreds of thousands every day. Mainly in unvaccinated bodies, it's unchartered territory now. I hope there isn't, time will tell.

    I see Israel are on the verge of a new lockdown after a month of their "freedom day". High rates of double vaccinations there as well.

    'Freedom Day' is something Homer would vote for in Springfield ...

    ... without having any idea what it actually means.

    People say the govt don’t know what they’re doing / don’t have a plan . Course they do . Freedom day . 7 days later- . Mass infection. Millions getting pinged ( even unnecessarily) . Millions in 10 day isolation . = instant 10 day “ firebreak” lockdown . Easy .

    Are there (or will there be) hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated people by the Autumn?

    There's hundreds of thousands that live here illegally, can't see the majority of them getting it, as well as the non believers.

    I don't pretend to understand what is going on with this pandemic, I doubt anyone really does tbh.

    So I'm even more confused after seeing BBC breakfast news. They're saying we have the 3rd highest infection rate after Brazil and Indonesia. How does that tie in with 'Freedom Day' and life going back to normal, it doesn't sound normal.

    I'm sick to death of all this shyte.

    It’s a strange place to live where we are we only know 2 people whose had it and they are from the east coast, life has virtually carried on as normal apart from wearing a mask and staying local. Feel really sorry for the people who are getting hammered with it.

    It'll be a combination of a few things. We're still obsessed with infection numbers, but we don't really know now what the link is between that and hospitalisation and death rates. I think the government have better information than we do. There will also be a level of infection that is seen as politically difficult, and we don't seem to be at that level yet. Plus the political issue of getting the economy going again. Also the potential for mass civil ignorance of restrictions if we delay opening up again.

    There's no perfect decision to be made here. Whatever we do, more people will catch this and some will die. Think of it as the flu and not ebola.
