The Truth about Delta and Immunity. (as I see it) Stole this graph off @FatEmperor . RED ARROW represents UK's covid problem, which is fading out and basically at 0. So, non-existant. YELLOW ARROW represents the coverage of the delta variant, remember it is the harmless ..1/

near-final stage of the virus, a variant which is covering the globe quickly and spreading immunity for free (better than any v****** could). Logically, the spread of immunity/harmless virus coincides with the end of the problem.
NOW imagine someone (a hapless politician..) 2/

... would mis-read this and assume that the yellow line represents the spread of YET ANOTHER, MORE DANGEROUS (BECAUSE SPREADING MORE QUICKLY) VIRUS VARIANT. Then let's add another one of our pretty arrows. That of PANIC. ...3/

Now you have a panic which coincides with the end of the crisis. The closer we get to the end, the crazier the panic will be.

This, of course, is just a hypothetical scenario I dreamed up in my non-scientist mind. It's probably a fantasy... 4/

Because our leaders, they know what they're doing, right? Our scientists, they protect us from harm. Our pharma companies, they develop the solution to the panic. It'll all be good. I'll stop dreaming up crazy scenarios and crawl back into my cave. 5/5
