The point I was making, of course, was with or without lockdowns, deaths from the virus are inevitable.

We’ve had a lockdown plus months of emergency measures, and we’ve still had 75,000 deaths. The only problem we have successfully tackled up until just recently has been to slow down the virus to ensure the NHS is not overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the vaccines are now available which is the only option we have to reduce the death toll.

There is already advice out there. Financial support is already available.

Now that we have vaccines, that certainly changes the position. Just weeks ago, such a solution was not guaranteed.

My frustration up until that point was that this perpetual talk of lockdowns was being seen by some as a way of killing off the virus. That was never going to happen.
