Who is the “we” in this scenario? The global population?
This recent paper suggested pretty high asymptotic transmission rates.
Asymptomatic coronavirus infections contribute to over 50% of spread, according to UChicago study - UChicago Medicine
A new study indicates that rates of asymptomatic COVID-19 transmission may be much higher than many expected, accounting for over 50% of the overall spread.
...
The investigators also report that more than half of community transmission is from non-symptomatic cases – either asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic cases. “While we can’t estimate precisely how likely it is that an asymptomatic case will transmit disease, non-symptomatic cases as a whole contribute significantly to community transmission,” said Subramanian. This finding may become important as public health officials are deciding which COVID-19 restrictions to implement, maintain, or roll back. “Whatever measures policymakers implement to control the ongoing outbreak, they also need to include pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic people as well.”

But it's harder to pretend you're working in the office whilst actually sitting off watching Poland take on the mighty Slovakia.
For that reason, I am in favour of a 1 month circuit-breaker from the 11th June until the 11th July. It's the only way to skive off wor... sorry, I mean surpress the virus.

Wow. Thought airports have a compulsory masking policy. I am not a fan as some here might know but thought airports would be the last in the list when it comes to getting rid of the thing.
can't go in tesco without a mask, can't go on public transport or international transport without a mask, improved standards of sanitation in gyms, recreational and service areas.
Lockdown is evolving and will be constantly reviewed as it should be on an ever changing unprecidented event. The public are not being oppressed here by the scientific community and neither are they making some inspired break for freedom by enjoying some sunny weather

I hope this is a distortion because of all the surge testing
Who cares if the cases go up if the hospitalisations and deaths stay on the floor? In fact, isn’t that actually better as it proves the vaccine works?

What is love?
This is what matters.
Not this.
I appreciate that it's difficult to adapt, given we've been crazy scared about case numbers for the past year but what matters now is hospitalisations and deaths. Both of which are so low at the moment and that's only likely to get better with each jab.

Can't work out if this is sarcasm or you're actually suggesting the 12 week wait hasn't been effective...Shiver my timbers 12 week vaccine wait between doses goes all Pete Tong, who would of thought, I know...

Yep, same in Llandudno yesterday and today, pavements absolutely rammed, hardly a mask anywhere. If there’s no big spike after all this mayhem it’ll be a miracle.
