Yes - France is similar. They criticise ScoMo here - but o/seas is still very bad. France has only about 10% vaccinated I believe.
With all the crap we are still doing VERY well.
Yes it will get worse before it gets better...as soon as it appears to be abating everybody wants to resume normal life....raves, disco, gyms etc.
the result is it will flare in those not vaccinated because people are very good at being carriers before it comes to notice.
it is really not the thing to be playing politics with but is..
there is no point in giving the initial dose if we haven’t been able to get enough vaccine for the second 12 day dose.
now vested interests are starting to jump up and down over blood clotting .
that in itself is reason for caution in roll out and restrictions on our “ social” lives
