No-one is saying we should lock down again now are they ?? Why have you made that up just to argue against it ?
Lockdown achieved it's objective the first time because the hospitals just managed to keep going with the level of cases being reduced by the reduction in contacts, but it was touch and go in some areas of the country. Like the rest of the world found, it was clearly necessary then because of the lack of alternative methods, with no mass testing capability and no vaccines.
The second lockdown was more debatable, but the numbers in hospital were still greater than the first wave.
Still waiting for you to explain how your plans to have increased the number of cases by allowing more human contact in the first wave would have helped the hospitals cope with dementia & cancer patients better than they managed.
As for now, no-one is suggesting more lockdowns, just common sense measures to keep numbers under control (like testing and isolating when you have been in contact with it). Not rocket science, just common sense personal responsibility of the right kind.
And suggesting lockdowns for Flu ? Are you mad ? Again you are making up stuff just to argue against it. No-one has ever suggested that because hospitals have never been totally overrun by flu cases, flu has never stopped hospitals dealing with cancer & dementia etc like Covid did, and we have a vaccine that works very well to protect the vulnerable.
