However, I do recognise that my postulation is based on the axiom that the vaccine is bringing the pandemic under control and that thus convergence must occur.
Do the rising numbers of infections, deaths and hospitilisations in the UK suggest vaccines on their own are insufficient to bring the pandemic under control and we need to consider measures like a return to mandatory mask-wearing, like those countries which are not experiencing the same uptick as us? Or is it a temporary increase that will be resolved once more people have the boosters?
