I assumed that the national sombrero flattening was to stop the NHS being overwhelmed, which happened and the government claimed a win (access to all other services however..). I also assumed that the sombrero was related to deaths and capalibty
Anyway, people are now out and cases are inevitably rising, am I wrong to think that as long as local hospitals aren't overstretched then local lock downs aren't necessary according to the government's initial aim of protecting the NHS?
When schools, hospitals and over services welcome people back and testing becomes widely promoted then cases will most probably shoot up, but if hospitals remain capable then, from the governments perspective, that's fine. But hospital admissions in Greater Manchester are remaining low and stable, yet they are being restiected again. So what exactly is the government's strategy now?
Have we swapped to the aim of elimination?
Whilst I'm rambling, LBC were discussing immunity passports. If that becomes a thing then good luck flattening anyone's sombrero, the young and healthy will be having corona parties!
