It’ll go away next summer, it just wasn’t warm enough this one.

You’re free to put yourself at risk as often as you please. Get an all day ticket for public transport and let us know how you get on.

The answer to your question at the end is as many lockdowns as it takes to get a vaccine.

This was of course completely avoidable by going for the New Zealand or South Korean approaches. We are the fifth richest country in the world but “it’s too hard”.
Well, what else is it? Lockdown after lockdown after lockdown and still the virus remains.

Let’s get this over and done with. If you want a lockdown, be my guest. I won’t be joining you.

Under the theory everyone who gets infected reduces opportunities for onward infection and the R number will decrease over time. It should be incentivised among those who believe it.
People should be free to make their own decisions. Personally, I will be steering clear of the universities.
