China Returns to Its Strict Covid Limits to Fight a New Outbreak
Foreign businesses worry that tough quarantines and restrictions could persist into next year as Beijing struggles with variants and questions about its vaccines.
Nurses took his blood twice a day and performed six throat swabs, four nasal swabs and two anal swabs daily, said the German, who insisted on anonymity to avoid offending the authorities. The hospital room had no towels, no toilet paper and no television, and the bed was a steel plate with a thin mat, he said. The German said that, after consistently testing negative for the virus, he was allowed to spend the remaining 11 days of isolation in a government-supervised quarantine center.

I've wondered about this.
Covid distancing may have weakened children’s immune system, experts say
End of social distancing and mask-wearing could leave children vulnerable to common bugswww.theguardian.com
We don't know the impact of social distancing measures on immune systems.
Pre-covid, my kid would basically have some sort of mild cold all the time (he was in reception). He has had the odd runny nose during this but nowhere near the same frequency.
I'm not against postponing the full opening (a couple of weeks to get more vaccines administered) if the increased cases leads to more deaths but if not then we should press on. The 7 day death average from covid is 9 (all deaths that recorded a positive test within 28 days).

Just watching Hancock being grilled on lessons learnt. A couple of key lessons...
Lesson 1 We were too late to lockdown in March 2020.
Lesson 2 We were too slow to react to Kent variant.
Would be very careless to have-
Lesson 3 We failed to recognise the threat of Delta and opened up too quickly.
as it would indicate that they never learn.

There really is a massive chasm between those who actually enjoy life and want to carry on living it, whatever it is they like to do, and those who do not and just want everyone to be kept inside for eternity. Funnily enough, the latter types are the ones who say that the vaccines are only 10% effective.
Who's keeping everybody inside?!

TBF that sounds ver much like kicking something into the long grass; the WHO aren’t likely to get to do a thorough report that would prove / disprove a link (because they won’t be allowed to).

I think that you should probably reread and ask how you came to making your post.
Like the couple in Melbourne, who, while under lockdown, decided they were having the holiday they booked...and were probably going to by plane...drove 2,200kms the long inland way round on minor roads to the sunshine coast and spent a week there then felt sick. Potentially infecting every small town and business they stopped at.
Do you mean that sort of reckless and selfish or another kind.
Some sympathy for that view.

Apologies for making it too complex.
