We know about the vaccine booster shots, about the jabs for kids, about ruling out any more lockdowns – and about the possible need to resume working from home if things look worrying again.
But when the Prime Minister introduces his plan this afternoon at No 10, the big question underpinning everything in it will, however, be left unasked.
Sometimes it seems that if you put two epidemiologists in a room and ask for their advice you’ll get three different views in response.
At any given moment of the pandemic there have been different experts saying variously that more action is needed now, less action is needed later, more rules need to be enforced later, fewer rules need to be enforced now…and so on. Sometimes the same people have said one week that we are heading for disaster and the next week that things are looking promising.
THE truth is that no one really knows what is happening now, let alone what will happen next. The knowledge and experience of experts allow them to make the most informed predictions, but the nature of the virus – indeed, of any virus – is that it doesn’t always follow a pattern. And it is this fact that is the real issue.
