Vaccines have weakened the link between cases and hospitalisations, encouraging the government to lift restrictions despite surging infections.
On Monday, the UK government will confirm whether the data allows us to lift the remaining COVID restrictions in England on 19 July.
The government set a target for two-thirds of adults to be double vaccinated by 19 July and hopes that all over-18s will be by mid-September. 2. 'Evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths in those vaccinated' 3. 'Infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS'
But the NHS is also under significant pressure from a backlog of non-COVID patients. A record 5.3 million people were waiting for an operation in May, according to the latest data from NHS England. Almost two thirds of adults have had two doses of the vaccine, a success that has dramatically reduced the death rate, even against the Delta variant.And even though the number of people being admitted to hospital is rising, doctors say they tend to be less sick and they're discharged more quickly. So it's unlikely that bed occupancy will reach the levels of January.
Persistent fatigue, brain fog and other symptoms could affect their quality of life and ability to work for months, and in some cases, in all probability, years. Tragic for them and the economy.Waiting until all adults have had the chance of two doses – and that's just a matter of weeks - would make all the difference.More than 100 scientists condemned the government's plans
