Given, that covid numbers will never be zero seeing as though it's never going away.
Should the country have opened up?
2.5% of daily tests are positive, yes only 2.5% as the UK tests themselves on average 1.1 million times a day.
However
The number of weekly positive cases that require even a trip into hospital with covid according to the figures now is LESS THAN 2%, 1.x%. That is on the basis that hospital cases refresh weekly, anything longer and that drops even lower to close to 1%.
From that 1.x% , only 10% of that figure requires icu or more serious care.
Everyone enjoys to fear monger still , especially as 'freedom day' has come. But these figures suggest the country is in complete control of covid now with these 1.x% potentially dropping by 60% itself in the next 8 weeks as more vaccinations take place (60 is the unvaccinated amount in hospital).
So if you don't want the country opened up , how low do you want the figure to be , given it will never be 0?
