That’s an easy one

deaths in 2020 were really high

 

And yet, looking at deaths per 100k, they were lower in absolute terms than 20% of the previous 20 years, and, adjusted for age, lower than 45% of the previous 20.

Depends on if you think there should be mortality improvements year on year.

A good summary of how 2020 was: "COVID-19: How mortality rates in 2020 compare with past decades and centuries | UK News | Sky News" https://news.sky.com/story/amp/covid-19-how-mortality-rates-in-2020-compare-with-past-decades-and-centuries-12185275

It's absolutely mind boggling.
There are people out there who clearly want SD to be permanent.

Planned the length and breadth of the UK. A quick Google search will show most towns and cities have similar plans in motion.

Absolutely mental. A monumental waste of money.

Aye but I was allowed out the house in all those previous years.

Same timescales basically worldwide by the looks of it...

Dr Anthony Fauci, America's top infectious disease expert, said he believes the public may be able to get back to below capacity cinemas and indoor dining "somewhere between the fall and the end of the year". 
Something much closer to life before the pandemic would likely be "by the end of the year, by Christmas," he said, noting that people may still have to wear masks. 
But he added that highly contagious variants could increase cases and interfere with the timeline.

Absolutely unbelievable that it looks like we are going to be worse off than last year despite going to be in an infinitely better position than we were last March, and having multiple effective vaccines tbh.

"May be able to get back to indoor dining by Christmas" ffs

Worth noting, however, that Florida, for example, already operates with no mask mandate, and no capacity limits on bars, restaurants and sports stadiums.

He usually comes across as pretty sensible but no indoor dining until potentially the end of the year? That can f**k the f**k off. Not even forum darlings Leitch and Devi would come out with that kind of chat, surely?

Who is he? Is he maybe referring to America only and factoring in that they don't expect to have as much of a vaccine uptake as we do?

Probably the world leader on pandemics, does very good interviews. And he's back running the American response to the pandemic.
