Its not milder, its just that most people have some immunity now from vaccines or previous infection.
Not wrong. The whole ‘we have consistently followed the science’ doesn’t hold up any longer. I’m not for a lockdown at this stage but the fact that BJ hasn’t enforced any new restrictions is nothing to do with science.

Yes, it’s not nice. But if everyone took time off when they had a sniffle, then everything would grind to a halt
A runny nose isn't contagious, coughing everywhere is
Also, people aren't frequently being hospitalised with a sniffle

Maybe sniffle was the wrong word. Those who have tested positive, but show little or no symptoms will be allowed to go about their daily business.
Except asymptomatic people can still infect others
So we are going to do this for a long time? There has to come a point where we live with this like we do the flu, which kills on average 18,000 people a year
It hardly matters that its milder if its everywhere. More catch it, more die. NHS Staff get it and go off affecting other treatments as well as The Covids.
But flu rarely kills asthma sufferers, pregnant women, the slightly overweight or obese & im sure not to many diabetics. By your reckoning maybe we should let people drink & drive ,lets face it not that many die because some p155ed up pr*ck didnt wanna walk home.
we do what we can to make it as safe as we can untill this covid is gone & be prepared for next one in 5 - 10 years or whenever it lands. remember this is sars - covid 2. There will be more !

I think you are underestimating what flu can do. It can be dangerous for asthma sufferers and pregnant women. It can lead to babies being stillborn. And from what I have seen on line, children are more likely to die from flu than Covid.

to mild asthma sufferers ? Maybe those with it really bad . See now youhave shown how dangerous flu can , why should we just live with 18,000 deaths a year. or 5.2 million covid deaths in 2 years . maybe we should do moore for both.

People don't go out and "live their lives" normally when they have the flu
