OK, having nearly been killed by this stupid bug, I need to object at least feebly to this Trump/BJ/JB narrative that it’s all fake news and no lockdown should ever be imposed on anyone. And, by the way, anybody who actually died (4+ million) surely deserved to die anyway. And, indeed, would have, sooner or later. As far as England is concerned, the more the merrier. 100K+ new cases per day seems plausible by early August, but it won’t actually kill all that many people. You’ll be a breeding ground for new variants, but realistically not quite on the same scale as India and Brazil, since England just isn’t all that big.
