Living with buisnesses unable to open, only being able to meet 6 people max indoors from three households whether that be at home or the pub, limited capacities at stadia for sport, no festivals, theatre at 50% capacity, nightclubs shut, at weddings no dancing, singing or mingling of tables and...

We go first week September to December, jan to week before Easter abs then post Easter until the third week of July ;with a weeks half term in the middle of all of these. Most schools will finish any time between 16th abd 23rd July. And yes I agree I’m not too worried about cases although...

it’s a mixed picture here. We have the uk but it’s four regions are on different trajectories. Scotland and England have seen the biggest rises over the last 6-8 weeks or so, with Wales and Northern Ireland faring much better. Now Scotland has peaked hopefully possibly due to not only their...

Well you all will get to see how a country dates when getting rid of all mitigation’s whilst coping with delta on July 19th in uk - got believe me I’m so so glad about it but slightly nervous…

Sorry again coming from the uk perspective. I suspect we are going to be the first real test case for ‘living with the virus/delta’ - reports tonight that our July 19th ‘ freedom day’will go ahead - mask mandate dropped, full venues, nightclubs open etc - this is despite the rising cases shown...

yep exactly - our CMO Chris whitty is even of the opinion this is better (and he has been the most cautious public ally) and that we need to open up as much as possible now and not suppress to the winter. To be honest the lower level restrictions we have now aren’t holding delta amongst the...

I genuinely don’t care what you think lf my post - but when that one person just comes on this thread without any context quoting a well know anti govt independent safe acinetist about number of cases every single day! Suggesting that the world is falling down over then I will say that the only...

The stark reality is that hospitalisations and deaths are really the most important metric abs they are still low can I ask what your solution would be? You come on all doom and gloom but never suggest a solution?

tbh I cannot believe we are more healthy than the US really. Our case rates are surging very much in the under 30s. For example out of 2000 Scotland cases, 1500 had been to the football match in London. Now there's no reason to believe they got it at the match but actually due to the fact 20,000...

I think down the line it will just be part of the flu vaccine routine ie go and get them both together

Haha I’m very sorry - thing is I can’t say anything that will persuade some people on here that there aren’t people falling down where they stand over here! Every single death is a tragedy but we cannot keep panicking over such small numbers in healthcare - we all know they will go up further...

Something I posted on social media earlier 9th December was when our last rise hit this level in the uk - spot the difference

Where do you get that anywhere in India is highly vaccinated - it really is not the case at all and especially when delta hit india. You do seem to think you know a lot about the uk? We have 80% first doses and 58% second doses - our over 60 rates are very very low, so our vaccines are working...

India does have a vaccine extremely effective against delta - studies have shown that health workers that had had AZ were NOT infected with the virus or into health few cases got it very mildly! In uk our over 60 rates have hardly gone up at all suggesting high efficacy of AZ

Can we please stop this nonsense about AZ! real world data has shown that AZ is just as effective against severe illness and death with the delta variant after two doses, abs there is little difference in transmission rate dropping after two doses against delta and certainly not 50%!! Virtually...

One interesting thing that has come out about the delta variant in the uk is the change of symptoms. Most reporting runny nose, sore throat and headache wirg no cough or loss of smell - this is good as it’s milder due to those it’s infecting as well as those partially vaccinated, perhaps...

I do think the situation here in the uk is different to the US. We have such close ties with india both socially and economically that the rush to get home prior to them being red listed caused the delta variant to seed all over the country but especially in the north west where there is much...

To be fair in the UK we are bringing forward second doses and ramping up first. We did over 600,000 1st and 2nds on Friday - meaning we are 71% first dose and around 41% second so thats going up very quickly now - fully expect 50% by end of next week for 2nd doses and about 75% first. We are...

I think that’s just personal opinion tbh which is is why I said in my opinion. Our local paper is threatening us with local lockdown if we don’t comply as we have two cases of Indian variant which was brought in from outside the area and no signs of community spread (already done their isolation...

Yep - this is a more positive article https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/7d404140-ba46-11eb-9a91-c8c89595f50e?shareToken=758b7f12f264c39ebee22f42e87f04c3
