This is a sensible take:

Needless to say it’s what I’ve been arguing for well over a year - these are political decisions, guided by expertise in multiple fields, and it’s not for the medical advisers to determine policy. It’s also been blatantly obvious since before the first lockdowns that Covid would never have a discrete end. The public will decide when it’s over, because they won’t care anymore, and they’ve done that.
