The State has had to get extra funding to push out the vaccination programme which is going ok now. Strangely the locals are the opposite of the UK with all adults wanting the vaccination roll out and even pushing to get the kids done as well.
A car crash? Really? I heard spring break was chaos. Not sure about the rest being a car crash.
But the point is, “let’s get back to normal” does not mean Brazil. Apples and pears. Malc’s right, no vaccination and letting it run riot is the root of Brazil’s problems.
Getting back to normal with the vaccine has to be the aim, or I don’t know where we’re going.
It's simple, get as many vaccinated as possible and we will get back to normal. I keep saying, if people want to continue to want it both ways (no vaccination and open up) then we are going to be back in lockdown. It's not rocket science.
And I'm going on what my colleague said, another went to florida during spring break to their beach apartment and stayed in for the whole time with quick trips to the supermarket. And I don't see any reason to question what they said, they are there on the ground.
