| Comment | Yeah I find it really strange that they want to get everything opened up again, despite pubs, restaurants, gyms, retail, etc being primarily staffed by people who aren't vaccinated yet. I understand wanting to vaccinate the most at risk, but I feel like it should have gone from explicitly high risk people, then people in high-contact/high-risk jobs like supermarket staff, teaching, nursing, care homes, etc. since that would have made it safer to open up schools and such again, then start from 18-29 to cover the majority of staff in the "non-essential" sectors.
It's all well and good that Brenda and Mary, in their 50s, are vaccinated, but they're not immune and that means they could be going for brunch and bringing the virus to Stephanie, 23, who's effectively last in line to get a vaccine and will come into contact (briefly, but contact nonetheless) with many other similarly unvaccinated people through the course of her shift.
If someone can give me a good reason as to why it didn't go like that, I'd love to hear it. |
