Many people in positions to do so (not least the unions and leaders of the NHS) have constantly tried to up the risk factor, to make the government react, to lockdown, to prevent, to restrict. The government finally got it balls back and did what is best for the majority, and the figures would appear to support the actions.
If you think that tens of millions of people should be restricted (Oops sorry me Drakeford) Protected for the fewer numbers at risk, even when the numbers show that the vast majority of those having a serious life threatening reaction to the disease have not bothered to get vaccinated, then there is no point in continuing the conversation. You are determined to argue that lockdown is good and freedom is bad. So be it.
I am not here to argue that lockdown is good and freedom is bad. You clearly haven't read enough of my posts on this issue or you'd know that is not the case.

I know lots of people who are still wary to go out and enjoy life. The more restrictions are lifted, the more wary they will become.

I've read on here that working from home is bad for everyone. I can prove otherwise. I've read on here that everyone wants restrictions lifted. I can prove otherwise.

The biggest danger from Covid at present is mass absence from work and public and essential services not being fulfilled. Responsible governments, couldn't care less what party is in charge, needs to manage this. We're not at a stage where Covid is just a cold and those who have it would be expected to come into work.
