UK Covid death toll

[Kit Kat Chunky]

Certainly not against a lot of what you've said in regards to sensible precautions there.

With vaccination, covid19 is as serious as flu, fir the unvaccinated it's certainly far worse.

We do have to live with it at some point, and I've said before I'm all for vaccine passports to be honest, and giving premises the right to demand proof of vaccination.

I would agree, Birdy.

The ZOE channel on youtube released an interesting video last night. The pandemic is spreading from West to East in the UK. The areas that had Delta first are running out of people to infect, and the stats are flatlining (supported by data). London is fairing worst at the moment, due to lower vaccine levels.

I agree with DH that opening everything in 2 weeks probably is lunacy, but normality has to return. Deaths are now reducing week on week (I accept there is a lag from hospitalisation to death). I personally think the aim is to double jab 70% of adults by 19th. When the remaining 1st Jabs are given 2nd jabs, we will be around 70% of the total population. I think (personal opinion) the rest of the aim is to let the virus spread amongst the young, so they gain natural immunity. Some members of SAGE are advising this as a course of action, rather than vaccinating minors, I believe.

Yes there will be deaths, and every single death should be mourned, but the level will be low. We might see an end to the pandemic before the ravages of October, November and beyond hit us.
