Let me explain before you turn purple . . . there are other countries in the World with the same problems, and many of those are nowhere near our vaccinated population level. This means that unless you really lock down for months (or years) by closing all access to this country there will be further variants arriving daily/weekly/monthly until the whole world has been vaccinated and there have been no more variants anywhere for a period of time (3 months? ).
Doesn't seem a sound plan to me, but hey if that's what you want . . .

I don't want lockdowns to continue infinitum, like everyone else I've pretty much had enough. But what certain older members of the CF community seem to have conveniently forgotten (if they understood in the first place) is there has never been any promise from the government that restrictions will be lifted on the 21st June, only that the 21st is the earliest they could be lifted. They have already started to prepare us for possible ongoing restrictions for some time after the 21st.
Maybe you've hit the nail on the head and we should lock down once and for all until the rest of the world catches up. As long as the virus is out there and mutations are happening we run the risk of going on the merry-go-round again and again before we realise repeating the same old approach has done nothing but left us bankrupt and still with no end of the pandemic in sight. I really hope I'm wrong and if we get a straight 12 months of life as it used to be with no sign of a resurgence I'll happily come back here and say "I was wrong!".
