In fact itâs the people who own the country want the peasants to get back to work. Peasants dying is a feature not a bug.
The people who voted for Boris Johnson giving him one of the largest majorities in recent history are having a protest against lockdowns and chanting âarrest Boris Johnsonâ on the very day that Boris Johnson ended all the lockdowns. Thatâs the logic we are working with here.
It really makes no sense, as the UKâs vaccination numbers are still climbing steadily. The US is going to do the same thing and itâs going to suck, but if the alternative is restrictions forever, you can see the logic. But in the UK the alternative is wait 3 months to get to 80+% vaccination rates!
UK on track to hit new high case #s. Good news is deaths arenât soaring, still not great.
Are you trying to imply that now isnât the perfect time to be fully reopening with no restrictions? A very odd position to hold imo.
Itâs not all exactly as youâd expect, but close. Florida is at like 4x the rate of CA and then when you look in CA all the hot spots are in redder areas. The difference between blue area in blue state and red area in red state has got to be huge.
Going to be some interesting charts in the coming weeks.
I am sure I am missing something but if this is really now a pandemic of the unvaccinated why should shutdowns remain? The very people who circumvent them are the only ones being voluntarily vulnerable, no?
I realize this doesnât apply to many countries where people canât get vaccinated.
Places like UK still have people who want the vaccine but havenât been able to get it yet. USA is basically fucked.
One argument is kids
This is a good thread:

The US wonât shutdown. Best we can hope for is masks in schools and other public gathering places.
Another argument is that half the people dying of covid in the UK now have been fully vaccinated.
These are skewed towards the elderly, but still.
If shutdowns are such that the unvaccinated arenât following them anyway, then it makes no sense. If they were real, itâd be different. Still, superspreader events are ridiculous. I do not co-sign âthey choose not to vaccinate, so let them die.â
My girlfriend got pretty extreme covid and she was double vaxxed months ago and followed all the precautions.
You mean deaths of vaccinated people are skewed elderly right? Itâs always been super skewed elderly, but overall deaths should be less skewed now as the elderly are more vaxxed. That is the case, isnât it?
Yes, deaths of the vaccinated.
Really? When you say ânowâ, what do you mean?
Something like 50% of the people who died of COVID in the last week were fully vaccinated?
Am I understanding that correctly?
