Just as well, because we could not have carried on like this.

What? The virus dies out or at least ceases to be the problem it currently is once it has travelled through the population. Lockdowns don’t eliminate the virus. The first lockdown proved that. How many more resurgences do you need before this fact dawns on you?
Ah the Old Boy straw man.

How does the virus die out? Seasonal flu doesn’t die out. Your view that it dies out or “ceases to be a problem” is an assumption based on fresh air. No more credible than your assertion that it would die out in the warmth of summer and we know where that got us.
