You could make a case for the 20-24 group to have highest case rates - look at the table. That's 397 for a five year group ( average 79 per year) and 1340 for a twenty year group (average 67 per year)....similarly the high number of young children infected is spead over fifteen ages.

Anyone interpreting it differently at this stage is either desperate for a childish argument (fair enough tbh) or desperate for continued restriction. I'm not desperate for any argument nor do I want restrictions for 1 more day than is required, I just thought the figures pretty clearly supported the view that schools are pushing transmission of the virus here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Well, we'll just have to get on with it, won't we? You can sit in the garden, it's not like you'll be stuck indoors."We" as if you're not a 90 year old pensioner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure local councils/GPs can arrange some sort of card which digitally holds their vaccine info for them if they are unable to get access to a phone. I've got about 4 old phones in my house that I would happily give to any friends or family who need one, I'm sure you and plenty others would do the same. Nobody needs to sign up to EE on an 18 month deal. This is what I mean when I said people are making it out to be much worse than it actually will be. There's about 20% of people don't have a bank account, I'd be surprised if there's not a similar or larger % without a smartphone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 My main takeaway from the figures are that cases may well be rising, and have been for 3 weeks or so, but hospitalisations are not. That *should* see us drop the obsession with case numbers.. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once case numbers become irrelevant, so do case drivers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As will everything else as we open back up. It's called getting back to normal. The virus will not have magically disappeared, it will be rife amongst unvaccinated cohorts but as long as the hospital numbers and deaths stay low it will be largely irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I see emergency Covid powers at Westminster have been officially extended for another 6 months. Seems odd when all restrictions will have been removed by mid June (allegedly) [emoji1781] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't fit with the narrative that schools are safe though, which is what we've been told. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
