No government can 'control a virus', it will infect as many as it can until herd immunity stops the spread. Lockdowns can do one of two things, either slow nature but not stop it, hence keeping the damn thing around for longer, putting the weak at risk for a longer period of time, or concentrate a number of people into specific locations (ie supermarkets as people are not allowed to go anywhere else) and give an increased chance of infection.

We've given a year to this clearly failed method, and now it is time to try something new. Oh and for you bleeding heart virture-****erers I'll double down and re-classify 'vulnerable' as 'selfish ****s'. It's up to them to protect themselves and shield, not every other ****er to have their lives ruined. I am allergic to peanuts and cats, but I have not advocated banning of peanut in any foodstuff nor the slaughter of cats because i am not selfish and live my life as best i can to minimize risk.
So are you saying that instead of everyone wearing masks in Tescos, all the grannies should wear hazmat suits instead?

If we'd gambled half a bil and spent the last 9 months gambling on the Ox vax working and made and stockpiled 200m doses, and prepared for a mass roll out, this would have all been done and dusted a few months from now.
