Start of third wave - what will this actually mean?

[Moonme]

With so many of the population vaccinated what do you think a third wave means? Will we need another lockdown? 😩

Exactly , freedoms, livelihoods, people's sanity, lives!! are all being lost the longer we comply.

It's very sad that (like flu) the very elderly and the very vunerable die but at what cost is this now!! The flu/covid/common colds will ramp up again come autumn, and more of these people (like every winter) will die, but this will most likely be blamed on a new variant or lack of vaccine uptake so they can continue to keep us under some sort of restrictions.

I just hope people aren't thinking of entering their children into this 'vaccine' trial and stop this nonsense.

How do you explain the excess deaths? I continue to be puzzled when I read posts such as this one, given with what has taken place before our eyes and not very long ago.

@PrincessNutNuts

India has seen a similar lower age of admissions with this variant so maybe it's the variant and not the vaccines?

Even a 4 hour admission would use NHS resources including staff and contribute to the NHS being overwhelmed.

And being ill enough to be admitted rather than just observed in A&E is a valid indicator of how ill people are getting and what level of treatment they are requiring.

Not India again.....there will be many many reasons India are seeing younger people in hospital (do we even know that is true by the way? Is it With Covid or because of Covid?)

I’m doing everything normally.
Wearing face masks yes (begrudgingly!)

So whilst I obviously went lockdown lifted for those that want to travel to visit family etc

Me personally... I’ve been done with it for a good few weeks now.

Like most people I know.

Consequently... really rather enjoying life!

You keep enjoying life that's what it's here for

Exactly Beautiful day in garden with friends. Hugging and kissing, In and out of the house (at one point all inside when it began to lightly rain). Most of us back in office for a few days a week. Spoke about restaurants we’d been to in last fortnight, one couple been to cinema.... I could go on.

Covid seemed a distant memory already

I'm reading your posts and I'm incredulous to your way of seeing things @Ilovewatermelon. You fortunately were not affected by covid but you can't dismiss what others have lived through.
