CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

I'm certainly not opposed to the idea of changing policies to address the different problems posed by Omicron. But the notion that we should just ditch everything and let it rip totally because current strategies don't act as an impenetrable barrier to Omicron seems to be a bit extreme. If we don't use vaccines, what should we do? Do we instead start to shut down pubs and restaurants or does that impinge on the ability of people to move around freely and make their own decisions? Do we mandate masks and if so do we treat anti-maskers as deplorables? What's the alternative being proposed? It's easy to whinge about what exists but harder to come up with solutions which will not be lambasted by some as an affront to their freedoms.
