Christina Pagel, who has been pretty on the money with this so far, is basically saying if you open up this summer you create the perfect breeding ground for a vaccine resistant strain.
I don't mean this in a snarky way, but not sure how to word it in a none snarky tone: What's the other option? Give millions of people a vaccine and tell them to stay indoors over the summer?
The lockdown has to end at some point, and as the weather improves it will end, legally or not.
@Scrabble
The new variants part is the scary one for me. Christina Pagel, who has been pretty on the money with this so far, is basically saying if you open up this summer you create the perfect breeding ground for a vaccine resistant strain.
This monster thread also touches on all the other risks with opening up including vaccine disparity in deprived communities and long covid and how that is emerging as a concern in children.
I'm glad I'm not making the decisions, but I'd rather be safer than sorry with the opening up.
