No denying that they are going up, but currently on a shallow trajectory.
In regards to “opening up”. As I said in the previous post I just don’t think that shutting down is the answer.
We also need to remove inconsistencies, how can theatres/ cinemas be allowed to open and outside sporting venues not?
Inside only families be allowed around a table, outside 6 from different households around same size table. Is a marquee inside or outside? My local thinks it’s outside.
I could go on, the contradictions in regards to kids/schools......
Shut downs are not the answer. I don’t think there is an answer, so we have think differently

But this is the thing - the inconsistencies aren’t because activity X is safer than activity Y. It’s about minimising unnecessary social interactions while keeping open sectors that have been been deemed to be critical. A range of activities on any scale have to be discounted because of the numbers of people involved rather than the inherent risk involved in the activity.
If everyone lived their life on the basis of what they are doing in schools there’d be effectively no restrictions at all and we know where that leads.
Perhaps Nomadking is right and it’s our population that’s the problem. Instead of generally working within guidance we look for loopholes in legislation. Which is why any kind of Swedish approach appealing for people to take individual responsibility is doomed from outset.
