Just like influenza we will be living with it for the rest of our lives.  Eventually it will become just part of the norm, like Flu, and not be thought about much.

Influenza kills around 500,000 people a year and no one gives it a thought really.  Just like influenza vaccines the covid vaccine will probobly become a mixture of 3 or 4 strains thought to be most prevalant at the time.

Well it follows that if you remove all restrictions to increase tourist revenue in the high season you will get super spreaders bringing in the latest variant. Somebody recommend me for a Nobel prize?

Experienced 3 recent UK arrivals all of which I had to remind to wear masks!

With fear mongering news like this tourists will be waiting it out, uncertain about possible flip flopping that will reintroduce stricter measures.
