No and we have to yesShall we stay locked down until they have got rid of it?
Maybe we can recognise the additional risks if people are obese?
No and we have to yes
Yep and no one (notice the word no one) is saying close the country down and lock yourself away to stop Covid. We can’t stop it we need to live with it.So again this should be about awareness too from the top.
It's all well and good saying close the country down or lock yourself away to stop COVID.
People should be made aware that if possible (note the if possible) then they should look to alter diet, exercise etc. (Again, people need exercise for mental health as well as losing weight, the whole first lockdown when people were being stopped for walks in the country was pathetic).

I do feel it could actually be better.There seems to me to be suddenly no faith in vaccination as sufficient protection. If it isn’t then we may as well permanently close every indoor business
Easy in hindsight mate, they were flying blind.So again this should be about awareness too from the top.

The last few pages have been pretty timely for me.
Missus (double vaccinated) started getting a bit of a cough Tuesday so did a lateral flow test Wednesday and was negative, cough still there so did a lateral flow Thursday morning still negative.
Then got messages off her mates later that morning that 4/7 mates she was out with Sunday have tested positive with PCR tests (one works in a school, another a prison) so both me and her went for a PCR test yesterday.
Got our results this morning and she is positive and I am negative!!! I’m also double jabbed, have no symptoms but have got to stay in for a full 10 days? Why can’t I just got for another PCR test on say Monday if I have no more symptoms?
We were meant to be at her Goddaughters wedding tomorrow as well which obviously we now can’t go to. Which is a bonus!
72 hours later and still feel like crap… thankful it’s not the virus obviously but these side effects are a massive pain in the backside
Is it stopping your working on as an accountant for a construction company in Ireland or are you back in Hinckley now?
I do feel it could actually be better.

The graph in July is a little worse

Not sure what you mean these were the two I’ve seen. Vaccination has made everything possible but not without serious illness and death and risk. But we all agree on thatWasn't the month after the first one the same?
This is shaping up to be another fine mess from Lardy.
NHS summer crisis: Major hospital cancels all planned operations today and tomorrow
Cancer operations among those cancelled at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birminghamwww.independent.co.uk
As Whitty indicated the alternative is to push this wave into autumn/winter where there is even less available beds. Or stay in lockdown for the next year ? They reckon due to last years lockdown and limited flu spread there could be 60k deaths
Just googled and found this...
IAct now or NHS could be overwhelmed this winter, report warns
Report commissioned by chief scientific adviser says Covid, flu and RSV could push health service to breaking pointwww.google.co.uk
This is obviously not just Johnson’s calls. There’s no easy way out of this mess. The current spread and hospitalisations have been accentuated by poor/slow take up of vaccine in certain ages and regions...maybe this is where people should be focussing more of their frustrations !
Edit - mentioned before, with hindsight I wouldn’t be surprised if they wish they’d allowed a greater gradual spread amongst certain age groups last summer, even without the vaccine
We’re in this mess right now for one reason only. Boris failed to put India on the red list soon enough. We could have been 4 weeks further into the vaccine program so he’s missed 2 opportunities to slow the spread of the delta variant. How many more people can be double dosed in 4 weeks?As Whitty indicated the alternative is to push this wave into autumn/winter where there is even less available beds.

The vaccine is brilliant but no vaccine is every going to be 100% and we're now seeing fully vaccinated people in hospital and dying. Shouldn't it be a case of having the vaccine alongside at least minimal attempts to reduce transmission?There seems to me to be suddenly no faith in vaccination as sufficient protection. If it isn’t then we may as well permanently close every indoor business
How will herd immunity work in practice? I understand the concept but doesn't it rely on those with the vaccine not getting covid and therefore not spreading it? How do you achieve herd immunity if everyone vaccinated can still get it and pass it on to others?Herd immunity in progress

It isn't right. It'll reduce the probability of hospitalisation by 90%, from whatever percentage it was in the first place.
