"one of the theories is, that perhaps you could take it on the chin, take it all in one go and allow the disease, as it were, to move through the population, without taking as many draconian measures. I think we need to strike a balance, I think it is very important, we’ve got a fantastic NHS, we will give them all the support that they need, we will make sure that they have all preparations, all the kit that they need for us to get through it. But I think it would be better if we take all the measures that we can now to stop the peak of the disease being as difficult for the NHS as it might be, I think there are things that we may be able to do."
And for what it's worth we eventually have to have 'herd immunity' - how that is achieved is another matter - it can be by letting a disease spread or by vaccination, so herd immunity would have been discussed
Well we were late to lock down
We didn’t have all kit and we weren’t prepared
We didn’t know if a vaccine would work
Other countries did not subscribe to the herd immunity theory
Thus time last year Cheltenham went ahead and the Premier League and the other leagues made their own decision to shut down. Any criticism of the decisions made last year were met by some as politicising the pandemic... now there’s good news it’s ok to politicise the success of the vaccine roll out.
