seriously, 2 years in with 90%+ of the population vaccinated and mandatory masks and Omicron spreads like wildfire in the UK and you are claiming a) the vaccines stop the spread or b) that masks work. are you ignoring reality or somehow going to blame the <10% who are probably also working from home...
Improved ventilation as manditory, targeted vaccines, isolation for at risk groups. Careful proper monitoring for at risk groups combined with low grade random monitoring of the wider population.
Importantly EDUCATION around basic h&s and personal sanitation and not to be a mouth breather on public transport...
Masks as normal in treatment and hospital settings and frankly a working economy which focussed on increasing treatment capacity and preventative measures, aka building and installing air filters en-masse
It's not exclusively about R number is about saving lives.
80%++ of cases are far from fatal and probably 95%++ are akin to a flu like response from a healthy person. Again borne by case numbers even pre vaccine in the UK.
It's not about moaning, it's about trying to educate people in statistics, science and personal responsibility, not group think and politics.
