Some will point out that testing is the answer, but none of them are reliable. They may give a false sense of security, but they are not a solution.

As I said before, social distancing is not practical. I mentioned public transport, which is obvious, but what about hairdressers, dentists and all those other workers who have no choice but to get close to their customers? Are we going to stop them working for 18 months?

We'd better hope that the theory I mentioned some posts back that the virus will die out naturally (as did previous coronaviruses) is correct, because that is the best solution of all, but it is out of our hands.
