Always be over thousands of cases?
Well not in all the countries where this has been dealt with properly.
But here where cases are climbing and climbing, it seems very less than sensible to remove all precautions and just let everyone catch it (though that is the deliberate plan).
Would people go wandering aimlessly through a minefield (and even ask for more mines to be laid) or instead wait for the mines to be cleared?
Further, I'm not a wealthy person, far from it, I'd like to live long enough to be able to clear all debts and have a home of my own to pass on to my family.
I'm in three covid-vulnerable groups so although vaccine may give me some protection, can I be sure I'm not in the 10% still at risk? No I can't.
Figures released during June showed 42% of covid deaths occurred in people double-vaccinated. So danger is still there.
