On your second point, it was only a few posts ago when you said you were 'looking forward' to restrictions being extended beyond 21 June. This despite the continuing hardship that would impose on those struggling to survive under these conditions, so I don't believe that you want this disruption to end at all.

As for personalising this argument, you've got a nerve saying that, given your previous posts! Anyhow, if you want to call a truce to hostilities, I am all for that. Let's just keep to the argument. It is possible to agree to disagree.

Covid is no longer the biggest killer in the UK.
You do realise that the two points you make in your opening paragraph are contradictory?

Allowing the virus to "pass through the healthy population" creates the likelyhood of more variants, some of which are likely to be more transmissable - doing the first creates the opportunity for the second.
