Increased activity outside IAW …..

We simply don't know what cases will be I 2,3 or 4 weeks time. Nobody will ever kno that. If thats a reason not to unlock we never will. Cases in England & Scotland might be a concern but in Wales our cases are much lower. 10 deaths in a day might sound a lot but between 1400-1600 people die every day in the UK. In normal years its not unusual for flu to kill 60 people a day (more in winter & less in summer) . So if we decide that we cannot unlock when we are at 10 deaths a death then realistically we are never going to unlock.
This is a whole different argument about the validity of the model which is used to predict these things. Clearly vaccination seems to have mitigated the effect on the most at risk. What I suspect isn't modelled well is the differing attitudes between age groups, and their risk profiles in terms of their activities. Given that schools finish in a few weeks, that'll undoubtedly alter the way the virus spreads among teen-agers who might have been bubbled whilst in school.
The TV presenter, Andrew Marr, is a good case in point demonstrating what we're currently seeing - he was vaccinated twice and still tested positive, with symptoms like “a summer cold” as he put it. Not pleasant I’m sure, but no different to what most of us have to go through every year with other respiratory illnesses. That's the vaccines doing their job right there.
This right here. All 3 of us as a family had both vaccine jabs 4 weeks ago. We followed as best we could, local restrictions in Belfast. All 3 of us caught the virus 2 weeks ago, Delta variant. My wife and I are both 52, my daughter 19 and type 1 diabetic. The vaccine did what is was supposed to do. Prevented hospital intervention. Covid is a nasty little sod and not pleasant at all, however, the tools to move forward are with us. Felt like a really bad flu, but no worse. Time for local government to stop hiding behind every cough and sneeze.

Ok, interested to know ….
Of those people on here that have had their 2 jabs, would you feel comfortable sitting back in the IAW with a capacity crowd of people who can also evidence they have had their 2 jabs ?
It’s a Yes from me.

That would be a yes from me too. I have regularly attended motorsports events in the past and they have an element of risk as a spectator and there are disclaimers on the tickets to say that you are willing to accept this level of risk. If they needed to do this for the hockey then I would be fine with it.
