"If we're wrong, and it does get out of control...then we're in a situation where we're going to have to go back to even harsher restrictions than we are in now, for longer...and that seems a much worse scenario than waiting a few weeks where we are now to be sure we can open up in the longer term. This isn't a time-limited thing, we are vaccinating, but we still don't have 80% of adults fully vaccinated, that's still a few months away, we will still get there in the end, it's just a question of doing it more safely and a tiny bit more slowly."
Remember this time last year we didn't even know if a vaccine was possible. Think of the bigger picture, a few weeks is nothing in the face of what could have happened, and is still fully capable of happening pending further vaccination. |
