A Covid Autumn

As the summer ends and the autumn approaches, it all sounds very familiar as cases of COVID-19 are rising and we all know what happened last winter when cases, hospitalisations and deaths rose through the roof and cases are at an even higher level than they were at this time last year so we are setting out into Autumn and Winter with the bar raised much higher so is it time to panic?   
Scientists are saying that the vaccination program is doing precisely as they hoped but cases and deaths will certainly get even higher but the crucial difference is the relationship between cases and deaths which are very different from last year.
Public Health England put the daily total of new infections at 38,281 but the majority of these newly infected are under 25 and as they are in the best position to withstand the virus, the deaths are not coming at the same rate, approx 100 per day, as when the new infections were in the over 50s and deaths was running at over 500 a day and that is due to vaccinations.
The potential fly in the ointment is the length of time the protection lasts, scientists are stating a decline after 3 months and boosters will be required but as we shift in the more cooler Autumn months, the numbers are going to be scary.
