Keep up. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/15/europe/italy-lockdown-europe-coronavirus-monday-scli-intl/index.html Fair enough pal. I was basing my comment on the fact that some of my colleagues got vaccinated on Saturday with the AZ version. Obviously just happened today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some respects this could be a good thing, let's say the infection rates start going through the roof and we end up with a "third wave", however if this happens and hospital admissions, ICU cases and Deaths remain low to very low, then that would prove beyond doubt two very important things, 1. The vaccines do indeed work. 2. The virus is no longer a major threat to life or our NHS and as such life could and should be returning to normal. I suppose we can only hope this is indeed the outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem is that the EU and member states have been painted in a very positive light generally in certain circles, simply because Boris and his chums are a useless shower of you know what. In reality, they're still prone to absolute f**k ups like anyone else is. The more extreme aspects of Brexit took over the narrative though, and proper scrutiny of European failings from a reasonable POV has never really been a widespread narrative - generally it's usurped by gammon chat about foreigners and the resultant tit for tat. It can still be traced back to Tory fuckwittery though. There'll be a decent amount of people here who'll therefore trust "Europe" before they trust anything coming from our Government, which generates vaccine hesitancy at the worst possible moment. I'd still hope for a modicum of critical thinking from people in any case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Surely cases are going to go up every time anything is released? If we were going to halt progress after seeing a small increase in the wake of making fundamental changes, it will never ever get done. I would flip it round and say the fact that the increase in cases is relatively minor, 3 weeks after the schools started to go back, is a very good sign. The vaccines are working and the deaths/admissions are slowing - they are the major indicators in my opinion. Case numbers and % positive rates tell part of the story, but they shouldn't be used solely as a reason to fire than handbrake on - especially with the data as limited as it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 If the reopening of schools does lead to a massive uptick of cases but due to us being well on the road through a vaccination programme and hospitalisations / deaths are very low it's a great thing. But it also shows what a monumentally stupid idea it was to open them full-time in August and down south in January when we didn't have a vaccination programme. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
