One minutes its going to be gone by August according to vaccine chief..
Next the re opening is going to be potentially halted by the newer Indian variant, did people not consider the variants 4 days prior on the last article.
There's one thing the vaccines being less effective with the anti body response but the belief is that they will still protect from serious illness which is all that really matters. Antibody effectiveness may be down but there is hope that t cells are still fairly effective.
Variants could go on and on so its time to largely live with it as we cant keep shutting down.
It begs the question how and why is the variant here so easily, where is the quarantine from India and how are other variants being allowed in with seemingly such lax border controls and protocols.
It should have been relatively easy to keep the UK tight and get rid from within until more are vaccinated but no doubt people will have been allowed back from there before it was deemed a place to quarantine from.
It really shouldn't be rocket science to implement the necessary controls.
People should have been told abroad holiday's this year are a no no, UK only, so we can get rid of whats here and keep anything out until its gone and completely open here plus it would have massively boosted the economy.
