Notice the Operation Rampdown stuff has been leaked to the media. I do think we ultimately need to draw a line under covid and treat it like other cold/flu type viruses, when it has reached that severity as an illness. We don't isolate people with colds, though arguably it is better they do, and T&T seems to be less useful now people don't have to isolate if double jabbed, and now you don't have to check into venues etc. So it makes sense that ultimately this style operation is mothballed, the only thing is the timing, it should be when covid is more or less over, whether that is sooner or later.


Seems that the Netherlands and Austria are now taking measures which we probably won't see here - keeping some measures on in the summer rather than actually getting some immunity built up is probably not going to help Europe where it might do so more here, but we'll see that over the next few weeks. And there probably isn't much support for lockdowns these days in most places.


Let's not forget a lot of the EU countries didn't increase the dose gap between jabs - and have kept things like masks, vaxpasses, which we don't have.
