It's gone completely bonkers down here in Cornwall, and it's all down to half term followed by thousands of police and protestors coming here for the G7 summit.
The area where I live, which basically covers 4/5 rural villages outside of Falmouth, has had zero infections for about 5 months. Last 7 days. it's had 52, which works out at 452 per 100,000. Cornwall as a whole is now at 142 per 100,000, whereas it was down at 3 per 100,000 before half term.
Loads of local pubs and restaurants are closed due to staff self isolating. The infection is rife amongst the young uns and in schools. Luckily it hasn't had any effect on hospitalisation yet with just 2 admissions for covid over the last month.
As long as the hospital admissions and deaths stay low, we just have to get used to seeing these high infection figures. Most people down here are double jabbed now so people are just going about their daily business as much as they can.

It should have happened at the end of May.
I think school children will certainly be a high number of the positive cases we see. Here in Liverpool there's all kinds of years and bubbles having to isolate.
tbh when they say there are 16,000 cases, is there a place where we can view that data where its broken down into age of the people tested positive?

Not sure. But I saw today that less than a third of recent hospital admissions were in the over 65s group. And I bet a lot of those have refused vaccinations too. Last year I reckon maybe 95% of hospital admissions would have been over 65.
The vaccine is working.
As far as i'm aware that's never been made available - would have been incredibly useful if it was
Yep, would be great find out area and age wouldn't it.
The problem isn't merely in reducing hospitalisations and deaths though - The increasing case numbers create issues in their own right
I've heard of a number of local businesses having to close their doors again due to staff members catching covid, and today my missus' son has been sent home with a temperature and forced to take a PCR test - If that comes back positive it means that her household and mine will have to self isolate - in turn forcing us to cancel our holiday next week and stay off work
It's not just so simple as 'people aren't dying so let's get back to normal'

I assume the powers that be are just trying to put on a "we're smarter now" hat whilst just wanting this thing to run through the country now and achieve herd immunity finally.
But getting back to normal means knocking isolating on the head. I mean I’m not a great fan of death, it just seems so final, but until they find a solution to that it’s time to take our chances.
I agree totally - So how long are they going to persist with the self isolation technique?
Cos the rapidly rising case numbers will bring the country to a standstill again with that in place
I know a few in work with kids who have it but seem to be getting let back on site after a few tests. Don’t know the rules anymore

My lad got sent home (he’s 6) to isolate, but nobody else in the house had to isolate, so we were told. It’s an absolute farce, let’s just get on with life.
The practical and realistic answer is test yourself every day and crack on ( I know the tests aren’t infallible )
Loads have been sent home from one of my lads school and this is what the parents I know are doing, despite it going against the rules.
We can’t keep living like this, it’s about managing it as best as you can.
You'll be like Australia after we dropped off rabbits and gap year students.
