AND gave up all human interaction. It is absurd to suggest that we should sacrifice civilisation for a virus

I'd happily give up all human interaction for a month or 2 if it meant that this annoyance wouldn't last an entire year like it has.

Also, we _are_ sacrificing civilization for a virus. Or at least 1.2 million people's worth of civilization…

That's a false bargin. People did similar universally do the above in many nations and it had little benefit. In turn they have lost and entire year. In turn that is the foundation of circular logic as above

> Or at least 1.2 million people's worth of civilization…

1.x million natural deaths with an average age of 82 years old, in the UK.
