Next month will mark 1 year since I was last able to do my job, the Exhibition and Events Industry were the first to shut down, and I guess we'll be the last to open.
Hypothetically, following on from Harrows and Colin's posts, at what point do ending the negative impacts of lock down restrictions on education, welfare, economy etc become more important than covid deaths?We have to keep the number of covid deaths down

Just interested in peoples thoughts
Absolutely, impossible to give an easy answer, most definitely a hypothetical question purely for discussion. Er, let me think of an example......They are all critically important right now.
It's pretty bad right now for millions of people (possibly way more than the final amount of deaths or effects of long-covid?).
The bigger worry has always been the potential overwhelming of hospital & health services with covid patients from day one.
It's a catch 22 situation and nigh on impossible to give an easy answer.
Still missing that 'ol black hole though for a proper yell...

Boris7 is unemployed, Colin is coming up 2 years waiting for an operation, just interested in peoples thoughts
Here's the rub, every winter flu etc puts a great strain on the NHS, when we get back to 'normality' CV-19 will add to this, and it might well be at the same levels, this would leave the NHS pretty much overwhelmed every winter. I think we will see a continued big push on flu vaccines as well as CV-19.We are told that we have approximately 28000 deaths from influenza every year. This seems to be considered acceptable so presumably that would be ok for Covid. Flu seems to have taken a back seat this year.
The NHS has been severely reduced in size. Spare capacity has been reduced to nothing. Young people are, apparently, queuing up to work in the sector. Perhaps this is the perfect time to learn lessons
What is the estimated date for that?Me personally;
Once 100% of those that can be vaccinated have been then that's it on restrictions and from that point should be treated in a similar manner to flu
What is the estimated date for that?
Even those that don't want the vaccine, can be vaccinated, are you including those?
The problem for me is we were told that once the vulnerable were vaccinated we could get back to normal, then it was provided the hospitals could cope, then it was everyone over 40 needed to be jabbed, now it is everyone, or the virus is eradicated. I'm wondering how long I can watch this horizon getting further away before I swear.
