Definitely. A lot of factors such as the media, the EU to an extent and their negative agenda against the AZ vaccine, and the large scale of moronic people in this country who are happy to be tattooed from head to toe and shove whatever unknown substances they are into up their noses each weekend, meant that we were always going to hit a wall. Sadly it fell even well short of where we hoped it would.By letting people just catch the virus instead of vaccination you risk the whole Gamut of side issues like long covid which have a big impact on the economy as it can take people out of work for months. However with the level of Vaccinations we have I cant see there being a huge amount of choice. we kinda hit a wall with people willing to have it.
Indeed.
Everything I've suggested would help that; letting covid run uncontrolled does the opposite.
Fly to New York, train to Niagara falls Go downstream, swim across and I'll pick you up on the good side.Yeah. Just hadn’t occurred to us our kids wouldn’t be allowed in without quarantine having had their required jabs here.
Just waiting to speak to NHS to try to get them booked in for additional Pfizer jab. Hoping I dont meet with resistance.
To be fair, at the moment your last statement is being proven wrong every day, that’s if you are classing the current situation as letting it run uncontrolled. Unless something dramatically changes then this is where we are for the foreseeable.
Nonsense.
A thousand people a day are being hospitalised, and a thousand a week dying.
Are you seriously suggesting that has no effect?
Both would be substantially lower if we had more immunity, which vaccinating would have delivered as I suggested; this wave has been driven almost entirely by unvaccinated schoolkids.
On the economy? I don’t think the current deaths and hospitalisations are having a negative effect on the economy at all. Everywhere I go is exactly the same as it was pre-pandemic
On the economy? I don’t think the current deaths and hospitalisations are having a negative effect on the economy at all. Everywhere I go is exactly the same as it was pre-pandemic. Viruses have always been around and unfortunately some people get seriously ill through them. The current levels with covid make it worse than these but not by much, which is why we are carrying on as normal as possible.
No one wants people to get ill, but it’s still here and it’s no longer out of control, so we have to live with it. If is gets worse then we should reconsider.
You don't think that people unable to get hospital treatment because of the civil overload doesn't affect the economy?
Or the current 50% reduction in the use of public transport pre-covid doesn't effect the economy?
Or the ongoing cost of testing doesn't affect the economy?
The higher the prevalence, the more the economy is affected, through both official restrictions and people stopping activities off their own initiative.
1.2 million long covid cases and rising daily. Vaccines cut long covid Significantly if not totally.
we absolutely need to be vaccinating more but how is the question.
for scale it’s close to the level of unemployment.
