Herd immunity pave the way...except we aren't quite there
yet...vaccination is slowing down. Big gamble...more COVID cases means
more opportunities for more virile variants to develop which resist the
vaccine...just sayin'...

Sajid Javid has warned that Covid cases could get as high as 100,000
cases a day this summer, as he admitted numbers will “rise
significantly” after all remaining Covid restrictions are eased in a
fortnight.
It comes as Boris Johnson unveiled the government’s next steps on 19
July, with plans to scrap all social distancing measures and lift the
mandatory requirement to wear face masks on public transport and shops –
despite protests from regional mayors.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, the new health secretary
described the situation as “unchartered territory”, but also stressed
link between cases, hospitalisations and deaths had been “severely
weakened” due to the vaccination effort.
According to the latest government figures there were 27,334 positive
cases recorded on Monday, with 358 patients admitted to hospital and
nine deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
Mr Javid reiterated the prime minister’s comment yesterday that the
government expects case numbers by 19 July — the date remaining sectors
of the economy will be opened — will be around 50,000 new cases per day.
