Where are you coming from?!!
Yes, the lockdowns were imposed to prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed. But where do you get the idea that when the lockdown ends, it doesn't all start up again? Did you not notice the second wave? Or the third...
I think the scientists are all agreed that lockdowns delay, rather than prevent transmission.

I'm coming from the point that not everyone is predetermined to get the virus, lockdowns have changed the environment we live in and also people's behaviours.
what you're suggesting is that even if you were nearly involved in a car crash it doesn't matter, because you'll be in one eventually.

And is all very well being wise after the event, but there was no confidence that we'd have an effective vaccine in the foreseeable future. It was a hope, that was all.

All those Nightingale hospitals seem to have been made available for nothing as we decided to have an enjoyable lockdown instead.

I don't disagree we had fantastic nightingale hospitals.
Shame we didn't have the required personnel to staff them....
