I sometimes can't believe we're having the same debates over and over again about Covid-19. The idiots in Government are claiming that things are "finely balanced", and the rabid right leaning mouthpieces in the media are still (yes still!) bleating on about freedom and comparing this to flu! A quick look at the appropriate charts (the above one showing average infections per day in my local area) show quite clearly that this is nothing like flu and things are anything but "finely balanced"!
It's such a shame that people will inevitably die unnecessarily but unfortunately for them the nature and timing of this pandemic is such that, thanks to science, most people will not be touched directly by death and, empathy not being a strong point of many these days, will prioritize their own (often childish) parochial needs and wants over the health and lives of "the other". You have to conclude that, barring a few notable exceptions, it really is as simple as that! Regardless of how mild or otherwise Omicron turns out to be.
