We can but hope. At least the UK is doing quite well on all counts. 77% double jabbed and 90% single jabbed. Daily cases dropping and few hospital admissions. And that's after many restrictions were lifted, the figures have shown the doomsayers have been proved wrong so far.

It’s puzzling the scientists....this recent drop in infections. Maybe the school holidays? No one seems to know for sure. It certainly wasn’t predicted.....and has proved a false dawn in other countries.

But...let’s be grateful for some respite as we progress with vaccinating the majority of the population.
