Schools and Unis reopen soon and that is going to prompt a steep rise in cases. Restrictions will follow.

Covid-22, whatever that is as it can't exist till next year.

Scaremongering at it‘s finest.

Almost 5,000 Covid-19 cases have been linked to the music and surfing festival Boardmasters, which took place in Cornwall this month.
Health officials said 4,700 people who have tested positive for coronavirus confirmed they had attended the festival in Newquay or had connections to it

I'm not that troubled. Most are in with breathing difficulties and are out after 7 days. 78% of those hospitalised have not been double vaccinated.

that's interesting, where did you read that?

That’ll be good, because they’re proven to work.….

You'd think there would be a massive health drive by the government now since Covid.

Perfect opportunity to pump loads into healthy school meals, classes for kids on what's healthy to eat and so forth.

Not only for Covid but for other health problems as well.

Could you imagine how much money this country would save in the long run if we taught kids how to eat healthier and provided the means of doing so?

What kind of an answer is that? Social distancing has repeatedly been shown to reduce transmission. Of course it is not a long term answer but we don't have any alternative. Hospital numbers are up 500 in a week in advance of schools and colleges opening.

What we need are new vaccines or a 3rd dose. The WHO may well have a point that from a global perspective they should go to other nations but I can't see that happening.
