I think we are doing ok in the UK compared to nearly every other western country.

The restrictions are on the way out, deaths this year are maybe even lower than what flu deaths were for the past few decades.

I doubt you will need the Covid pass from the end of the month, although if you travel abroad you might have to still use it. We can't stop other countries demanding proof of vaccines etc.

Forcing vaccines on the general public or fining them is nowhere near on the cards by anyone. I know there are mandates in healthcare but I doubt they will go ahead with them, seeing as there will be no trace of Covid by April.

GDP is back above pre-Covid levels now too.

"The UK economy surpassed pre-Covid levels for the first time in November after recording stronger-than-expected growth.

The Office for National Statistics said gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 0.9% between October and November."
