Smithy, good post and i agree. Data is not straight forward to interpret. Aside from some admissions being precautionary and brief, anyone admitted for any reason, broken ankle say, but swab positive will be treated as a 'covid admission'. Deliberate of course as they want to keep people's behaviour in check.
We cannnot be far off herd immunity and then rates will naturally decline. For the majority of vaccinated people, getting infection with covid leads to mild symptoms. Once this reality dawns and the fear disappears, things will move on. We are not far off this point. IMO of course.
