If we all dig deep and for a moment forget that we are humans that like other people live in part denial, are we truly surprised by these results? It's a general question, because I have observed this in myself since the very beginningof the pandemic - e.g., in the beginning of it communicating that "maybe it isn't going to be so bad" because at the end of the day that's really what I wanted, but deep down my training was telling me I was a wishful idiot.

Not surprised it has happened, but surprised it has happened so quickly.

I know - I'm so bloody jealous. And the model still has to be to drive down transmissions as low as possible - primarily with NPIs, with vaccines also coming in helpful (but the current view is that the vaccines will come in anddo it all - I doubt it).

I agree. No other way.
