I think at this point it is becoming apparent that even those governments who listened to science (and the scientists advising them) massively underestimated the seasonal impact on covid. The explosion in cases we are seeing almost everywhere can't just be explained with immigrant mass weddings and student parties.
This also means that a containment approach across several years now is out of the window.
We are left with the choice of either doing the Chinese/New Zealand route of super strict lockdown and mass testing until there is not a single case left or having the vaccine which hopefully will materialize soon rolled out by September 2021, even if that means making the shot mandatory.
What about "herd immunity"? Even with "only" 0.2% of infected dying, this is millions of people in the EU alone and totally unacceptable.
