Covid 19 - Lift all restrictions?

We have been discussing the options available to deal with the pandemic.

What do you think if, once everyone has had the opportunity to be vaccinated if they wish, of simply lifting all restrictions?

There would most definitely be a rise in cases but with vaccinations and better treatment options it would not be so serious and not too long before herd immunity was reached. Those of us who are particularly vulnerable could police our own behaviour and shield if necessary with services designed to protect us such as deliveries.

I know it would be a brave government to implement this but the country can’t keep up this semi lockdown regime for ever.

What do you think?

Whatever happens the government need the country to go with its decision
Many are not too happy at being under restrictions especially if the low hospital admissions and death rates continue

Infection rates are going up. Businesses can’t wait till the 14th to be ready for 21st. They need a decision to be made ASAP.
