My context is clear, you added "and" on as well. Now you have to show 12 months on where transmission and deaths has been reduced. Cases I have ignored as these could include asymptomaic or false positives. You got to love the Government for highlighting "cases" rather those who are actually suffering from it.
Helps SAGE with their scaremongering.

For quite some time now it has been acknowledged that a vaccine is the only actual exit route from the disruption to our lives.
I'm sorry Chris, but I disagree and the answer will only come out afterwards. It only delayed the spread rightly to reduce NHS pressure.
