Interesting to see from some of the stats boffs on Twitter that hospitalisations are not increasing at the same rate that they did in the first or second waves. First signs vaccines definitely work and that cases are spreading amongst younger people. You'd have thought that an increase in hospitalisations is pretty locked in for the next week or ten days given the rate of cases. The last week or so the increases in case numbers has slowed a bit, so hopefully we see some levelling off in a fortnight or so time, especially as more jabs go in arms.
Think it goes to show the delay was probably the right idea, but as things stand there is still much to be optimistic about ahead of the 19th July.
Agree with all that Ted, it is encouraging that the case number appears to be slowing and as you say we should see the benefit in a couple of weeks. We will have to learn to live with covid but also as part of that we need to keep aware of these numbers to make slight adjustments when the numbers are low rather than making big changes when we have no choices left.
