Prof Paul Hunter, University of East Anglia
It wouldn't matter a jot if Covid caused a million cases a month if it didn't make anybody sick.
It's the actual illnesses which have to drive what we do next
They sort of levelled off but are drifting up again and they're drifting up in summer when viruses spread less readily
There is concern about what will happen in the autumn
A higher base number heading into Autumn
Nearing endemic equilibrium - the point where cases are neither increasing nor falling.
I'm very confident that we're not going to see anything like the amount of disease we saw last time round, in the autumn
