Hmm
Not sure I agree with him (a sociologist from a third tier university):
- As of today, numbers infected and dying would have to fall by 90% to get back to the levels of last September
- Experience has shown us twice that as soon as we give people greater opportunity to mix, those numbers shoot up again
- If anything, the Government is being too optimistic in projecting a free-for-all at the end of June, by which time most people will not have had their second dose (and that projection is tantamount to telling them that they need not bother).
In emphasising date rather than data-based thresholds, the Government has done the very thing it said it was going to avoid and has encouraged many, one suspects, to feel that they can relax because it's as good as over. It isn't.
