Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of a down day today. Not hugely but there just seems too much uncertainty around. It also might be as I am not fully understanding a lot of what I am reading. I know newspapers are also trying to grab attention with evocative headlines, so wonder if a lot of it is just that. Hence, can one of you help me out with this...
I have seen that JVT said that even those vaccinated can still carry and transmit the virus. However, I thought that the links that were posted earlier this week on the thread about transmission from Israel looked 'promising' that it will stop transmission too. Or is it that nobody knows, or that nobody in the UK will stick their neck out and say it slows or limits transmission as it'll mean that people start breaking lockdown rules far faster than we / the NHS can cope with?
If transmission isn't as effected as is hoped, does that mean we have to wear masks etc for much much longer, even if the majority of over 50's have been vaccinated?
I think I've been reading too much, and this thread is brilliant, and managed to get myself confused.
So, if someone can translate everything in idiots terms, I'd be most grateful!
