If the vaccine works, that won’t happen.
And how long does this continue for? Months, years, decades
Those things are not being seen at the moment, so what will be the difference?
So our one job in the UK is to not overwhelm the NHS at the cost of everything else.
We already have proof the vaccine works with 2 in stopping hospitalisations and even more so with boosters/prior infection - which is the main thing.
What about in 6 months if another Variant comes into...
Well considering it harms the at risk more (as you suggested with the age comment) it’s a positive it’s not leading to higher hospital/I’ll/symptom numbers.
