ROG:
Without a vaccine this virus can only be deferred
The older we get the less able we are to fend it off
What we must not do is to let the NHS get to a point where it cannot cope
The virus loves mass gatherings especially ones done on a regular basis - oh, that means especially schools and putting the public onto the streets at the same timeSAGE has already stated that shutting schools will reduce the R rate the most to more likely below 1
We missed the opportunity to let this virus run a bit more during the summer months - maybe next summer?
Govt needs to base their strategy on IF and not WHEN a vaccine gets here
Rant over … for now
Couple of questions here Rog:
Why especially regular mass gatherings?
And
What do you mean by a “missed opportunity to let the virus run”? Let it run free so we start the autumn with already higher levels of it? I cant see any value in that, just that wed be a bad state earlier.
