So if your argument is that 90%+ overwhelming majority of the population should wear masks for a tiny % of people that can’t or won’t be vaccinated.
Well that’s a pretty warped stance to take.

Once again, you take a binary approach - all or nothing…
In the U.K. population, half have had only one dose - that half have an over 50% chance of catching Covid (51%-62%, according to your link); and the link isn’t about the Delta Variant, which is much more infectious.
So if your argument that over 50% of the U.K. population should risk a higher than average chance of getting Covid
"Well that’s a pretty warped stance to take"…

The youth of this country have paid a high a price to protect the elderly.
It’s perverse really.

Haha yes it is. If only we could make it up to them and reduce their risk some way.

Re: Coronavirus
Seems like the 100,000 infections per day forecast was way off beam. The rate of increase of infections has slowed for six days in a row.
Should we panic at the thought that things may return to normal soon?

Re: Coronavirus
I think the opening of a fast food outlet on every street corner has already created a generation afflicted with chronic health problems and disabilities.
Still, what do I know

Scientists can only advise, unfortunately its been politicians making the decisions. Not to prepare for a predicted pandemic, not to invest in PPE, not to invest in the NHS, ignore their own advice and get covid themselves and expect everyone to follow the rules that they don't. Scientists aren't to blame for the UK having the highest death toll in Europe.
