hospital admissions and rising as we saw in recent peaks. in december, we had 23,000 infections a day which is the rate we have seen, there were 15,000 people in hospital with covid whereas now there is only around 1700 in england. of some scientists have questioned if now is the right time. why on earth are we now changing from protecting people to vaccination to suddenly listing all the protections and going towards, if you like, achieving immunity to infection by people? it seems to be odd to me to take all those risks with infection when we are so close to vaccination doing the job of keeping us safe. one of the most visible measures of the pandemic has been the facemask. it's expected wearing one in shops or on public transport won't be legally required in england after the 19th ofjuly like much else, a personal choice. i don't particularly- like wearing a facemask.
