Maybe lots of infections but few hospitalisations.

My main concern would be the increased likelihood of mutations from the
increased number of infections.

We don't have to grow our own mutations, although we did that very
successfully in Kent last autumn. We can import mutations from overseas.
The Brazilians have some really impressive ones!

The P1 variation has brought Manaus to its knees a second time. 76% of
the population had antibodies after their first wave, and a large
proportion (estimated as 25-60%) of the current patients with the P1
variant are thought to have had Covid previously.
