> It will eventually get in. You will eventually lose control
This is has been happening in Australia since January. We've essentially removed all restrictions at this point, and we're letting covid do its thing. I think we've had more covid deaths this year than we had in 2020 and 2021 combined.
The difference that delaying made is that we're only "letting it rip" after 85% or so of our population is fully vaccinated. (Everyone who wants a vaccine has one.) And the vaccines are a really big deal - they have a massive dampening effect on covid's mortality rate.

We'll see, but I doubt it.
