• seems like third wave is here then, now what?

    Nothing to see here:-

    I'm guessing they're betting on it not being unbounded exponential growth and that it will tail off some time soon. I don't hold much hope for that myself.

    I think the news will start to be dominated by pieces that highlight the fact that a vaccine that is ~95% effective still leaves 5% (3.5 million people in the UK) susceptible. So much of the news so far has pushed the "double vaccination == immune" line, and that's going to quickly unravel as things go up from here.

  • 95% effectiveness is good, if everyone has it.

    The number of people still on 1 dose or none means that another wave could still be large, although will have the see. Places like Bolton are showing signs of declining again.
