* In South Korea and Japan, it’s all over, life is getting back to normal

* Austria and Denmark who eased lockdown 2 months ago have falling infections with no spikes. Same for Italy, Spain and France, just weeks ahead on their journey. Sweden of course never had a lockdown.

* Across Europe, Schools restaurants, bars and city squares are buzzing.

* UK Hospitals are emptying, death tolls are fading. The breaking of social distancing rules at demos failed to result in a spike.

* Two thirds of us may have a natural immunity to Covid which appears to be dying.

* Our frightened politicians seem to be under the spell of doomsday epidemiologists...

* ...who have been wrong on virtually everything

* We can’t sacrifice healthcare, education and the economy based on their apocalyptic - and consistently wrong - predictions.
5/6

* We need far stronger leadership to get us back to the old normal. There is simply too much at stake.

* Every past pandemic, from ancient Greece to the Black Death ended when society said it was so and started returning to normal
