It’s just a constant changing of goalposts and it’s beyond frustrating now,
Agree there, though obviously new variants take time to work out.
we were told hospitalisations and deaths would be the measure and despite both being at their lowest levels for months we are still getting all this nonsense coming in]
The worry isn't about now, its about 2-4 weeks time. If you act then you are too late by a mile.
I'm not saying their modelling or approach is right though.
They openly admit they don’t know how it will effect a heavily vaccinated population so in the absence of info the assumption seems to be just assume the worst and pedal doom and gloom.
I thought they a booster + 2 jabs was extremely effective?
It’s starting to feel like we serve the NHS rather than it serving the population as it seems to be prioritise that and to hell with everything else.
But what's the alternative? Just let people suffer at home because the beds are full?
I’ll openly admit I’ll defy any mixing restrictions and still see friends and family including in their houses and significant portion of population will do the same and government surely know that.
Ditto!
This time with such high levels of vaccinations and what not the benefit of restrictions is much less but the cost is still the same and they will basically just be punishing people and business for minimal benefit IMO. Other than a few more people getting boosters what’s actually going to change in the next few weeks? Once under tighter restrictions what’s actually going to change in the near term to allow them to be relaxed?
Good questions.
On the boosters, it takes 2 weeks to become maximum strength - so I can see why they are trying to buy time. But at what point do we say 'we can do no more'.
We are all pissed off with things.
