Yes I am optimistic but I wonder what this very very cautious road map is really concerned about. Is it hospital admissions or transmissibility I wonder?
I think Chris Whitty addressed this didn’t he? Our case numbers are still high, hospital admissions and inpatient numbers are still high, and not everyone is vaccinated, Of those who are vaccinated there is and never can be 100% protection, transmissibility still seems to be around 30% of those vaccinated. Opening up will lead to more cases ( increased R) and more admissions and deaths. Openin*but gradually is meant to mean tbat if this increase gets out of hand, the government will hit pause. Oh and I forgot new variants
