It’s still a perfect analogy. We find ways to keep the measures in place that save lives, while letting life move on. The same applies to Covid, the measures that bring cases and deaths down need to stay in place or be tweaked, rather than removed. I don’t think many realise this is what their local public health units do 365 days of every year. Idiot politicians have led people to think there are two options: let the virus spread at will, or lockdowns. It’s rubbish, there are all sorts of public health measures in place to make sure we’re not all constantly infected with disease. They’re beautifully designed, that’s why you don’t often notice them.
