Who cares what's driving it, the case jumpers ain't translating into hospitalisations.. the booster vaccines are having the desired effect, adding restrictions now is quite possibly the dumbest move the government have made in a long line of dumb moves, hospital numbers are declining that is what we were told was the most important thing, putting in restrictions now just smacks of we are doing it because we can what we have been told about hospital admissions has just been thrown out the window.
Kids in general are grand, I wonder how many of the 600ish children who have been treated in hospital with covid actually were there because of covid, and not because they have a serious other condition and caught covid, if either of my children had a serious condition and they caught covid I'd have them off to hospital regardless of how serious the covid was.
Numbers without context means nothing.
I don’t necessarily agree with all the restrictions, I do with a good few of them - they never should have opened up in Oct any way that was stupid, should have done it in May. No surprise they have regressed. Go back to when they did, I said it at the time.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing, we are all expecting a kick back in Jan and Feb, so they are trying to mitigate, I’m not convinced it will have much of an impact, but I see what they are trying to do. I don’t think they picked the really big things that would make a difference, so I’m not expecting to see one.
Whatever your own opinion mate, for the points I’ve already said, no point repeating the, again, we need to be doing for and with children as a group. Good news is 1.5 mill vaccines for children arriivjng in the 13th of Dec, to slow, but at least they are coming! I’d be prioritising kids now over boosters myself.
