Dr Susan Hopkins was asked whether they expect number of infections to keep going down, given the easing of restrictions etc. She said it was hard to predict more than 2-3 weeks ahead with confidence, made some mention of the somewhat differing trends in different age groups, but still tried to be as positive as possible about the prospects of decline. Given what we saw with Delta dragging on, a wave without a big formal lockdown, I'm trying to keep my expectations blank, both possibilities seem plausible to me so far.
At least Hopkins emphasised that its peoples behaviour in the coming weeks that will make a difference to this picture. Emphasised getting vaccinated, regular testing, taking care on public transport, indoors and in crowded places (masks etc), in the context of people returning to work.
