A window into the horror that some people are going through...so hard to comprehend what is happening.

I don’t think I’m ready to entertain this idea yet... what a nightmare...it’s making me feel a creeping dread mixed with anxiety. I had assumed we would be ok once a vaccine was found but the picture is so much more complicated.

I posted this yesterday, I thought it seemed a clear account of the possible exit strategies available. It gave me some hope that there is a sensible way out of this mess.

A report by Blair’s think tank, referenced by the guardian about possible exit strategies.

If I’ve understood correctly that’s terrifying? Ie that the virus can be airborne and travel on pollution particles? Would that be part of the reason London has had a surge in cases?

Good luck for the birth, is it the first? From what I have read the baby should be ok even if it gets corona and the mum can still breastfeed even if they have it, just wear a face mask so the baby doesn’t get virus overload and keep washing hands. If it’s the first I would be aware about the difficulties there may be with breastfeeding as this will be really important to combat any viruses. It would be good to get info on lactation consultants etc who you could phone up as midwifes don’t seem to have enough time to really help if you do have trouble. This is coming from my own experience which wasn’t great I’m sure you will be fine. I’m not due till August but I’m still worried about it.
I don’t get it... and I’m definitely missing something. But I keep wondering this so I am going to ask. Why would hospital admissions go up and deaths go up if all the vulnerable people (or the greater proportion of them) are vaccinated? I thought the vaccines were all pretty reliably preventing deaths if not total protection from getting the virus. Or is it pretty certain that a variant will mean the vaccines won’t work? Or will just so many people get the virus the tiny percentage of young/healthy people that die will become significant?
