Sorry to break it to you Chal, but the "point of view" you stumbled upon is is now mainstream.I stumbled upon a point of view that covid-19 is here to stay with us forever like flu. Hope that the author was wrong because these restrictions we have at the moment drive me mad after even 1 year of pandemic.
Covid is endemic and with us forever, as are the restrictions that are driving you mad. In fact, even if Covid were to miraculously disappear overnight - never to be seen or died of again - the restrictions would continue. Why? Because this entire charade has never been about a public health issue. How could it be when the average survival rate of the virus is >99.7% - i.e. on a par with flu for everyone other than the very elderly and those with a comorbidity? No, it's about something else. What that something else is will depend upon your opinions about the agenda(s) - or lack thereof - of those in involved. Your (and my) very best hope is that it's all down to incompetence and 'cockuppery'. Pray to god that's all it is. However, such is the level of collusion across government, it's agencies, NHS, PHE, ONS and the mainstream media etc., that it's hard to conclude that there isn't something bigger at stake. After all, they can't all be consistently wrong at the same time and remain singing from the same hymn sheet. As to what that 'something else' is - is anyone's guess. One thing is for sure, the restrictions and all the crazy madness surrounding them are here to stay - at least for the foreseeable future.
