It's still too early to see the impacts. South Africa is a good place to look right now. Hospitalisations going up for a week or so and now the deaths going up. Roughly 40% increase in deaths over last two days. 

UK won't see the extent for another 2 weeks or so.

Hopefully we'll continue as normal until the winter break, then.

That's the issue though, by then the damage is done.

Indeed, and South Africa, where this has been on the go for about 6 weeks are as follows...................

Cases................. 7 day average, a more realistic guide, over 23,000 from just over 500 a month ago.

Deaths............ 7 day average, 29 from 11 a month ago, not even remotely matching the rise in cases. 

So, comparing the rise in cases to the real worry of people dying, is next to nothing. 

If you want a daily comparison, deaths DOWN 34% from yesterday, imagine that. 

In Scotland, probably where we should be more concerned, a month ago cases were averaging just over 2,800 per day.

Today that average is just over 4,400.

As you say, ICU/hospital numbers CONTINUE to drop. 

Deaths, slightly down from a month ago.

From today's cases it looks like the booster jab is working ,out of 4300 cases only 160 are in the over 65s , 90% of whom have had the booster

Hopefully but we won't know for a few weeks.

Saints won't be the last club in Scotland that a certainty.

Did they not have any kids out on loan that they could have recalled?

Since they aren't playing either of the bigot brothers, no bending of the rules required.
