The point is, we have 90% of adults vaccinated. This virus is no longer the extreme danger it once was. We are just going to have to live with it.
The two issues to keep an eye on from my perspective are:

1. Once we've had a few weeks of the schools being back, and a move from outdoor to indoor gatherings as winter approaches, will the NHS be able to handle any increased infections?

2. Until vaccination rates in emerging countries like Brazil and India are closer to those of Western Europe's , there is still a good chance of further mutations emerging which may be more vaccine-resistant and contagious and will spread globally.
