I see Chris Whittys words today are being selectively reported on by doom mongers.
Whitty is right.
Not doom mongering at all. He's reporting on the basis of opening up. Anyone thinking that June the 21st is open day is deluded.
We'll be in another lockdown within a year, I'll have a tenner with anyone.
He wasn't suggesting a lockdown would be needed. That's where the misreporting is happening. He is suggesting that we will get a surge of infections but we should be in a better position to handle it with vaccines in place for hospitalisations to be less of an issue. Covid isn't going away.
Vaccines aren't perfect. And they're only resistant to know strains. Plus we're all basing our freedom on near perfect uptakes which we won't get. How about immunity and how long it lasts? No one knows for sure.
I think we'll have a similar summer this year to last year and when it gets colder again Covid, being a respiratory condition that will thrive will put us into another lockdown. I don't think it will be of the magnitude of this one but it'll still be another lockdown. It may not even be national but Sandwell will be locked down again before March 2022. Guaranteed.
Beep beep beep
Not at all.
If you're in Sandwell you'll be in a lockdown within the next twelve months.
