Matt Hancock’s blase attitude to the rise in Covid cases is alarming | Letters

The number of Covid cases in the UK is rising, but that is no cause for alarm, as shown by Matt Hancock's views. The removal of restrictions in the UK in February did not lead to a surge in cases. The UK experienced a significant wave of cases and hospitalisations in March-April 2022. The problem is that this puts a lot of pressure on the health care system.

Some people think that the swine flu is not over. Most credible scientists agree that it is not over. The suggestion that calls for restrictions are scaremongering misses the point. Measures to protect the public and help reduce transmission should be included in public health policy. Dr. Simon Williams is a professor at the university.

The effort that was made to get so many of us vaccinations is appreciated by Matt. It is not correct to compare Covid to flu. The impact of Covid is felt by people who are chronically ill or caring for someone with Covid. It is offensive to suggest that we are in a position where Covid is no longer a threat.

We can't rely on vaccines to control the virus. Due to long Covid, I have not been able to return to work yet. We caught Covid within four months of our third vaccine dose. It's not a good idea to ignore a virus that can and does evade immunity. In places such as New York, we could have an alert system that would prompt preventive action such as mask wearing and testing if community transmission increases. We are sleepwalking into a new wave of illness. There is a name and address for it.

If sick and sick pay are not restricted, masks, tests, isolation and other measures are used to protect the population. There's a false dichotomy of something or something not happening. There are a lot of protective measures that a government can take to encourage people to work. Vulnerable people are left shielding and everyone else is expected to accept Covid as a part of life.

I think vaccines are the way to go. He might have knowledge on health department planning. I would like to know where I can get the yearly vaccine. I haven't been invited to book one yet. I don't know what I'm missing. Dr. Jon Scales is from Essex.
