Johnson Saying Let It Rip

We all knew that at some point the Government would have to pull the plug and say enough, we will just have to live with Coronavirus and that day is going to be July 19 but how it was announced does not fill me with confidence.
With daily new cases standing at 28,000 cases, Boris Johnson said he expects it be be closer to 50,000 when July 19 rolls around and England becomes the most unrestricted society in Europe and today the Health Secretary, Sajid Javid doubled figure that to a possible 100,000 a day over the summer.
He also said the current 300 hospitalizations a day will increase and it remained possible that new variants of Covid could emerge, potentially with resistance to current vaccines.
The World Health Organisation have called the rush to lift coronavirus restrictions as ' very premature we could pay a price for' and encouraged a more cautious approach and scienbti9sts at the Imperial College London say that the 100,000 figure could surge to 200,000 a day if England abolishes most of the remaining coronavirus restrictions.
The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), which advises the government, agreed that cases could hit 150,000-200,000 a day and called the high infection and some people getting very ill a politcal price to be paid for the ending of restrictions.
Modelling shows that at the peak of the second wave 50,000 cases would translate into approximately 500 deaths, but that’s going to be much lower this time, more like 50 for every 50,000 infections so with a rate of 150,000 new daily cases, that's 150 daily deaths, 1050 a week, and untold tens of thousands who are risking the debilitating long Covid.
I agree that we are going to have to find a way of living with the virus but throwing off all protections at the same time appears to be reckless and a return to the original Government plan of just letting it rip, a Government which has got pretty much everything wrong, pretty much all the way through.
Johnson may deny ever saying he would prefer letting the bodies pile high, but he certainly seems to be saying it now.
