I dont blame you for your ignorance and ill leave it at that. Suffice to say that your last line is clearly an indication of your stupidity. You might not agree w my view, or my logic but please do not insult me by saying it doesnt rely on it or data. I don't mind disagreements but i won't engage in a discussion w an unworthy opponent. It is actually not that easy to read data in a proper context and you need special skills for that. Most people read a graph and jump to conclusions. Or even use it to get a point across, disregarding other data that change the equation. Happens all the time. Most people are unaware of the complexity involved. Maybe i shouldnt be on this forum. It has been rather unproductive so far..

The hospitalisation rates are still relatively low and Scotland is still planning on re-opening in the coming months. It seems that the WHO have revised their guidelines -The Scottish government's new strategy reflects the latest guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) on public health and social measures to tackle Covid. In this document, the WHO says the focus can shift from case numbers to hospital admissions and intensive care rates in countries where the most vulnerable are fully vaccinated - a position Scotland will be in by next week, according to the first minister.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-57581952

"We had 200 lambda infections in December," Tsukayama said. "By the end of March, it made up half of all samples taken in Lima. Now, three months later, we are looking at more than 80% of all infections nationwide. Lambda has become the dominant variant in Peru in a very short period of time."

I want to make it clear that is and has been my position all along. *My post last night was to make it clear that it is a variant of concern , as it is all over the world at the present time , with cases rising in many countries , and not just a conspiracy on the part of NPHET and the government to keep pubs and restaurants closed to indoor dining as was being claimed by a raft of posters here .
