Absolutely with you there chunk, one thing that looking at holidays highlighted is how well we are off compared with the rest of the world. Loads of restrictions still out there especially with the ‘poorer’ countries. I guess it is a reminder that no-one is out of it until we are all out of it.
I’ve been saying for a couple of years that looking at cases means diddly squat and that still stands. There was an interesting graphic last week somewhere showing the breakdown of those in hospital with covid and because of covid. Obviously they are still important figures because anyone testing positive in a hospital will have to be segregated from the normal population but the actual numbers because of covid was a lot lower than the 16k.
It is nervy though, for example my MIL has COPD and we have to be careful but we are very hopeful that these tablets that can be given to covid patients make our lives even more relaxed. She’s jabbed up and we get out as much as we can but we test regularly and are very conscious of any symptoms.
