Its about weighing the variables mate, what you say is likely true. It’s more than likely the two variables can exist and can exist and contribute. Equally increased socialisation may play a part to. As for the figures it’s worth keeping an eye on. It might not seem like a lot but a change from 2500k cases to 3500 odd is just under a 30% increase and you have to consider the nature of exponential growth. Not ringing alarm bells, but these things need to be kept an eye on after the tremendous progress made.
Sorry my friend, but that doesn't explain why all the other 200+ area's not greatly effected by the Indian variable have continued to fall, or at worse level off since the May opening.

I'm not for one moment underestimating the Indian variant by the way. I agree completely that it needs to be controlled. Other than bricking up the worst infected areas (which tbh, I would happily impose on all those who refuse the vaccine) the only way to control this is by strict trace and isolate and jabbing everybody, which I believe we are doing in the worst effected areas.
 
Hasn't Johnson & Johnson had the same clotting issues as AZ?

interesting if they decide against using it for the under 40's considering they have done with Astra

Yes, was paused for a bit as FDA investigated the clotting incidents but determined to be very rare (15 confirmed cases out of ~8 million vaccinated). When they resumed it they did consider putting some restrictions on its use, most of the cases had been in 30 year old women, but risk was considered so low that they just put a warning label on.
 
The fear is real and it will be up to how good the vaccines are to how we get along, people are just people and they think everything is fine now when it isn't really.

People have had enough mate and just want to start living again, there`s nothing wrong with that.

We can`t stay in this limbo of restrictions forever, plus the goal posts seem to have moved from protecting the elderly and vulnerable and taking the pressure off the NHS, ( which has been done ) to the situation where we now find ourselves in, were the majority of people catching it are people who`ve chosen not to have the vaccine and everyone else would appear to be about to be penalised.
