Given how well Omicron spreads even with restrictions, that does not sound at all likely. Maybe there will be a minor 'Plan B exit wave' in early February, but surely not the summer. They say it will be a result of 'resuming social activities'. People aren't going to wait for the summer to do this. Surely indoor social activities are more likely to spread it, and indoor activities are more likely in what remains of the winter, i.e. February and perhaps March depending on the weather. In the spring and summer, from the end of March onwards certainly, people will do more outside - hence less spread. I'd like to see these points put to SAGE.But the "...SAGE scientists..." haven't yet realised the same thing, nor haveLocktivistSky News.
They are now warning of an "..Omicron Exit Wave.." in the summer once all restrictions are scrapped, with between 1,000 and 2,000 hospitalisations every day.
And why the summer, when viral illnesses typically trough anyhow?
