And what does a partly effective vaccination programme and decreasing immunity in the face of new variants lead to?

Lockdowns.

New Zealand and Australia have spent less time under restrictions than we have. I couldn’t even go for a pint for almost 10 months in 13. And I wouldn’t rule out the pubs closing before Christmas if we don’t mitigate now.

If OB was ever right at all New Zealand and Australia can just shield the vulnerable and all will be fine.
