The virus may mutate through transmission, but the longer it has to do that, the more likely mutations will occur. That should be blindingly obvious, surely?

The idea of letting the virus run through the healthy population is to achieve herd immunity, so that the more vulnerable people don't get infected. With the vaccine we now have, your question can be answered more confidently. Concentrate those inoculations on the vulnerable and the health workers and you've clinched it.

But why do that if testing is introduced at the school gates?
