Sorry Stan, but that 8snt the situation at all in the UK. Case rates are increasing, but nobody cares because 90% of the increase is in children or the under 25s. This group does not lead to hospitalisations, let alone deaths. Restrictions (such as they are) are no longer observed in the UK unless they are the type that can be enforced such as numbers in pubs or masks in supermarkets. Where I live in Wales, there was a single patient with Covid in hospital; the whole of Wales, just 7. Death rates have been fewer than one death a week for the last 8 weeks. So the Indian variant is not to be feared so long as the vulnerable have been protected by vaccination. And mutations typically weaken the lethality and morbidity, even if transmissability increases. So no, restrictions will not be maintained, let alone increased. Get your jab folks!
There has been a very close and similar number of Covid Infections occuring in the UK. I do not expect they will Authorise a Freedom Day on July 21. The British Govt. Will have no option but to extend the current controls. Yesterday over 12, 000 virus infections were recirded in theUK. Prior to that, many thousands of infections have been registering. Soon there will be an increase in Deaths as a direct result of these sudden increases of Virus reports. Should the Indian Delta Virus develop. Further strict restrictions must be applied.
