That is one big risk. The other one is that the 90% reduction in hospitalisation still

results in overloading hospitals when and if the case load sky rockets.

Double vaccination + 2 weeks = 90% reduction in hospitalisation, but if cases are high enough (and there are still enough non- or partially- vaccinated people) it is possible that the NHS will struggle anyway at least regionally in hot spots.

Of course above threatens to be worse if the first risk becomes reality (immunity-evading variants).

Or..... it's a genius plan. Give it six months and we are running the world while foreign countries are still poncing about working from home and wearing masks.
