Omicron data from the rest of the world is dire. But the Dom is on top of it. We can’t fight it, because it will be too onerous for all of those small businesses selling cafe lattes and scented candles. And he’s still waving to Covid in the next supermarket aisle, as it politely sits ‘alongside’ him. Of course, the alternative as Dom describes, of LOCKDOWNS FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES, is untenable. Like saying ‘we can’t just lock up people who speed on the roads forever, so let’s do nothing.’ Nobody suggests locking up people who speed on the roads forever.
