Mr Johnson deserves credit for his readiness to withstand the bombardment
from scientists and opposition politicians for ever more draconian controls
even as the risks recede. He has sought to keep a sense of perspective by
responding to
real-world experience rather than modelling and he needs to stick with it.
Scientists argue that we cannot be sure what will happen next so we had
better be safe. But that is a recipe for paralysis when we must adapt to live
with the virus.

It is extraordinary that with most people vaccinated, many three times, and
with millions developing natural protection we need to endure another winter of controls.
School closures have even been mooted in the event of further Covid
outbreaks. Why? The children are hardly affected and if they are ill they should stayhome.
The constant testing and classroom shutdowns are having a dreadful impact on education
and the mental wellbeing of our youngest people
