This is a Global Pandemic. Its great the vaccination programme has gone so well in this and the other richer countries. However this isnt the case globally and in poorer countries. You could swear some have been living in the post war UK listening to some comments.

Until the world is vaccinated we are not out of it. Lift all restrictions. Yeah feck the 80 year old on the bus im not wearing a mask. Lets just travel everywhere without masks no need to isolate even with covid and spread the virus amongst other countries or allow another variant in our own.

We need to get back to as close as normal as we can with some sensible restrictions.

However we need the rest of the world vaccinated. Its scandalous that countries are not allowed to mass produce vaccines due to the vaccine patent. Credit must go to the US , Russia and China for backing the vaccine waver.

However the UK govt ???.... nah we are ok.
You are way out of touch on this one. AZ gave others the opportunity to manufacture their vaccine and the biggest manufacturer of vaccines in the world, based in India, manufactured it freely. However such manufacture is highly specialised and there are are limited facilities for such world wide. As far as the Russian and Chinese are concerned they decided to manufacture their own and good luck to them.
We will never get to the stage where the global population is going to be vaccinated each year. As it happens the Omicron variant is following an established pattern for viruses...easier to catch but less virulent.

As you say, with sensible precautions...vaccination and anti-virals..there is the opportunity for UK to get back some resemblance of normality in people's lives.

Politicians are taking us for mugs, and you're buying into it. Drakeford sees sense on spectator sports just in time for the rugby internationals, and he says he's following the science...????
