I'm not 100% sure I agree with that to be honest. If the Delta variant hadn't come along then in the UK cases were falling very quickly. I don't think Covid will vanish anytime soon, but with UK population at 90% with Covid antibodies then I do think we've got quite good protection now (boosters will be needed). I think it will, maybe after this winter, become like the common cold going forward. And if people have to pay for tests they simply won't bother. Now, all of this is provided we don't get a new variant again - which could change things obviously, although it seems Delta spreads fast enough to be the dominant one. THanks.
