That's interesting.
Should we worry about India? Huge growth in reported cases.

A lot of cases but obviously a huge population, so probably no worse per capita than many other countries. Turkey looks in pretty bad shape too.

I think a number of people I know would lose the plot if indoor hospitality (pubs) was pushed back from 17th May because not all adults vaccinated, assuming that hospitalisations were still at or below current levels after the next set of easings on Monday !

Surely, the thing that would go back is the foreign holidays because new variants are the biggest risk to beating the Virus. I don’t see any point in delaying anything else reopening.

The latest React Study has found that the link between Covid cases and hospitalisations and deaths has been largely broken, as a result of vaccinations. Even a moderate increase in cases over the next few weeks shouldn’t justify delaying openings.

Projections of nerd immunity have lost credibility. It
has been politicised and has been a key factor in our colossal death toll.

That's what we'd expect, isn't it ? That Twitter thread by Prof. Pagel definitely suggests delaying some of the domestic re-openings a further 6-8 weeks so every adult can have had a chance of a first jab.

No suggestion from our Govt. that's being considered in light of vaccine tightening, of course, but it would be the final straw for some who need the social comforts of a pub.
