The latest thing is to say that it doesn’t matter if lots of people get infected, provided they’re all vaccinated and don’t end up in hospital. Let’s test that against normal life. Say there was an epidemic of head lice, or whooping cough. Would we say to kids and adults with lice or whooping cough ’it’s fine to keep coming to school/work, we’re all vaccinated here and we have nit shampoo, and these things aren’t going to put us in hospital’? I think we know the answer.
