... and the media itself, I mean look how many people were saying "Freedom Day"
They haven’t helped. Raising our hopes and then coming out with phrases like “It’s like the horizon as you get closer” all just to depress us.

BBC online with their rolling updates are the worse alongside Hugh Plym, Laura K and Peston on ITV.

By the very end of July, things will be looking up an awful lot more. Long by then all the vulnerable groups will be fully vaccinated. A Twitter account predicts 21 June, but I’m taking that with a pinch of salt.



Good to read a few posts back they are using reserve vaccines, and the other post about the percentage protections against Delta, making this hold back all the more worthwhile.

I’m not going to depress myself any further; we can still go to Iceland, it’s on the green list, I am booked up to go and will forget all this cr@p while I am there. Will visit the volcano and share the pics on here sometime. I have my two jabs that I legally need to visit as a “third country citizen”.

When Freedom Day does happen, let’s lock this thread. Cases are not an issue, it’s death and/or hospital and the vaccinated overall are doing well.

Sweden did worse than it’s neighbours, but it did better than many lockdown states.
 
He is. But that is word for word what Prof JVT said early days in this.

It is, but how that belief has survived two big waves and now one rising tide is a mystery to me.

You probably can't eliminate it (at least in the smallpox sense of the word), but you could massively ramp up our capabilities to stamp out outbreaks. That they've still not done this is what is probably going to hang them in the end.

Makes total sense to me.

I mean, its obvious there isnt just 1 thing we can do, its a combo, from washing hands to clever vaccines. They all help. As for TTI, I know its your hobby horse, and you are not wrong that its been patchy, and thats being generous. Bur being honest, has a decent system been developed and adhered to anywhere in the Western world?
 
On the back of that, I’ve just cancelled a taxi to Manchester, a hotel in Manchester, two flights and an apartment in Spain for the second time.
We had to move our villa holiday in Lanzerote, set for 4th August, 2 years to 2nd Aug 2023 at the back end of last week which is a downer but better not to chance it especially as 3 of my nieces and nephews are under 5
