Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XI *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

Where are the 2000 deaths actually coming from? What demographic? I'm actually baffled.

Very worrying times.
Getting everything that we've voted for I'm afraid.

No one voted for the poxbottle!

Nobody knows, but I wouldn't say they consider the vaccines ineffective. It's clearly a blown up worst case scenario, sure we can see in the UK that it's mainly those without a vaccination that are being seen coming through the hospital doors.

Their models are suggesting we could have record numbers of deaths in Aug & Sept. There is no possible way that could happen.

If they want to save their political futures, it's in their best interest.

If they go through with this, it's a long way back

They know politically their career is dead already. Their cushy pensions softens the blow.

Seeing all this news now after the Euro game. 2k deaths? Are they modelling the black plague? How can anyone with 2 brain cells follow this nonsense.

The zero covid crowd? How do you reckon?

I speak fact. Stay tuned, stay safe. 2 metres.

Whats the point anymore?

We can't even eat indoors in the middle of summer now, what hope have we of ever seeing normal, real normal life in this country in the next number of years at this stage? Have a party, organise an event, go to a concert, drop into a pub, buy milk without a mask, not queue for a shop, work in an office not resembling a crime scene, have a proper university experience, travel on a whim.

It's the consequences of these decisions on how we ever return to real, proper life which is what upsets me the most rather than the deprivation of any specific thing being denied on the 5th.
It's disgusting, and they are all disgusting.

Yes, a worst case scenario whereby vaccines don't seem to be worth a bollix.

2,200 deaths across August and September, is NPHETs worst case scenario.

That's 1,100 deaths across August, let's say.

That would be the equivalent of 14,300 deaths in the UK in August -- or 476 deaths per day. Half of the peak of when there were no vaccines.

Today, the UK had 3 COVID-19-related deaths and 23,000 new cases -- with the Indian variant spreading wildly over the past couple of weeks.

NPHET need a drink, in a pub.

What NPHET actually need to do is f**k off now with their absolute bullsh1t talk. Potential
2200 deaths across August September is the biggest load of bolloxology ever.

Who in the name of God do these fools think they are making these ridiculous statements.

NPHET need to publish their data, its a case of crap data in = crap data out. Anyone with half a brain can see a figure of 2000+ is bananas.

I wonder is it a mistake from a journalist? Who was the first one to come out with it?

They're all hardly wrong. The NPHET letter leaks have always been pretty much spot on.

I'm struggling to think of a scenario where that is actually possible. Like what is the scenario in which that occurs. Even if you had an R of 5-6 you'd still run into a vaccinated person 2/3rds of the time.
