Oh absolutely, I get that there's progress being made as time goes on. More just tagging on with the (potential) downsides.
I'm hoping everything will continue to move in the right direction over Autumn/Winter, but I'm expecting the situation to get worse, and hoping that I'm wrong!
On a tangential note, I've been pretty risk-averse over the past year and a half or so (remote working in a town of 600 people or so makes that pretty easy), but it'll be interesting to see when people's (myself included) (now arguably irrational) aversion to large/close gatherings will dissipate. There was an outdoor concert with 10,000 people attending in Belfast yesterday, and the thought of going to something like that just seems completely alien to me. To be honest eating indoors at a restaurant does at this point.

I get what you mean.

Also more people will be double vaccinated, and more people will have some form of natural immunity post-infection, and infection is not a measure of severity... The report itself said the results weren't worrying.
