its the rate of infection that is the problem, its doubling every 2-3 days, delta was every 5 days, so its spreads twice as fast, that means there will be an exponential increase and even if its a mild variant, there will still be a massive uptick in hospitalisations. So that's the problem. In a week or 2 there could be thousands more in hospital

To change the topic a little bit, this Pandemic time and time again keeps advertising the fact that we need to fund the NHS more.

Because if we're being honest if it was properly funded there wouldn't even be that much of a scare about the workers being overwhelmed by how many patients that they could potentially be dealing with.

I think everyone should get that booster. Then we will be protected.

Some of us remember the time when we just needed the 2 vaccines to be protected. It now turns out that was a big fat lie.

that's nonsense Alf, a booster was always on the table, right from the time the first vaccines were being given

The vaccine wasn't gonna be available for 3 years. It was only due to Trumps warp speed that that narrative had to be changed. Boosters didn't come into the narrative until this year

Tbh we won't see any real improvements until we get pills out that can treat Covid victims, have stronger Vaccines out on the market rather than the rush job of things like J & J and AstraZeneca. And if a Lockdown is gonna be enforced it needs to be done with the intention of weakening this disease by making the Lockdown last more than a couple of weeks.

That's why really our most important breakthrough is if those Pills that Arista spoke about in the past end up being effective.

Hopefully it'd stop all of this Nineteen Eighty-Four-esque stuff that's being enforced right now.

Exactly.

In all of this chaos our pathetic Government still refuses to fund the NHS properly.
