That or we could just keep shutting down our economy every few months and ignore what it's doing to the population generally, not to mention to our children's future.
And of course if this was suggested to that fat, blithering idiot in No. 10 he would say something insanely stupid along the lines of 'I refuse to accept that we should let the virus rip through our population'.

Despite the fact that no one has ever suggested we do exactly that. Boris and Sage want to see a nice simple world. You either nod your head dumbly at their selective and misleading statistics and never question their hyperbole or scare mongering, or you're someone that wants to 'let the virus rip'.

Cretins.
