Incidentally, 'if it mutates' can equally apply to a vaccine. Why perform healthcare at all if we decide to live by the worst case scenario all the time?
The public will not support another lockdown and the economy cannot withstand it.

To avoid mutation, the virus needs to get through the population quickly. We might think we have been oh, so clever slowing this down, but fhe danger in doing so is that we may be laughing on the other side of our faces soon.

Nature may well have the last laugh. But hopefully, not.
