In the main, it is really only the extremely vulnerable who are still in danger now, although the unvaccinated are taking a risk, but that’s their choosing.
The number of infections have risen lately it is true, but they now appear to be declining again, and this will almost certainly continue now that the schools have broken up for the summer, as the Scots have already witnessed. |
And they’ll go back up with the next variant.
As someone with such concern for the attendance rates of French border officials, I’d have expected you to consider the wider impact of mass sickness multiple times a year on the economy. Likewise how the low tax economy will support the hundreds of thousands who have left the workforce - a figure that will presumably rise with each variant.

The binary of 2019 vs lockdown is indeed no longer appropriate, however there’s also little value in comparing death with non-death outcomes. There’s an absence of
learning in learning to live with the virus. At significant ongoing economic cost with unsustainable pressures on the healthcare system.
