The problem with that is it gives the idiots in the media and some of the general public something to cause more panic over
Every day they give out the death rate for COVID but they never add any context
They never say that it is less than 6% all deaths August just gone of 40,460 deaths, 2144 included COVID on the death certificate.
We do have a pretty average standard of journalist these days

Journalists may not be that good but there does smack of signs of panic in the government with their news briefing today, herd immunity plan not working out too well it would seem?

It's working perfectly. They wanted this to happen now, not in Dec/Jan when the NHS is usually flat out.
Funny that, the Chinese seem to panic like mad as soon as there are a few cases & have now administered over 2.2 billion doses of vaccine, seeing as they know so much more about this than we do you have to wonder why they don't simply use the UK's imaginary successful herd immunity solution?

I don't understand; all adults can have the vaccine in this country if they want it. We might have been a bit slower to approve 12-15's but they can have it now. What are the Chinese doing differently?

I'd suspect the Chinese have mandated vaccination of the whole population, they have control measures still in place, lock down cities/Regions as required when there is the slightest hint of an outbreak.....the joys of living in a communist state!

So what if UK tests and publishes the data? Surely, the population is entitled to know the facts.
Numbers issued daily in ROI and carried by most media outlets. Good. We are entitled to know the facts.

Our control measures rely on furlough being reintroduced. How can you mandate masks on the bus but keep nightclubs open?

Here in the UK the English government decided whatever the outcome or consequences to let the virus run wild & simply hope for the best, the Chinese on the other hand clamp down really hard on any cases that arrive so it does not spread to the wider population & are vaccinating everyone as quickly as they can, why?
Simply saying that those that want the vaccine can have it does not stop or even slow the spread, as it is rife in schools it will spread to the wider population as the vaccine loses efficacy.
