Describing it as normalisation isn't correct Dekka, this is a disease and will kill people, we have to accept that we will not ever get rid of it especially at this time of year where the best we can do is measure it against other similar diseases, of which they are giving similar numbers at the moment.
As for your 2nd point, I agree entirely but the answer won't be in restricting everyone to resolve the issue. An example is my M-I-L who has COPD, she has been shielding and we have protected her strictly, but over the Christmas period and her birthday (yesterday) she has started to venture out. She has been provided with a pcr test to take if she exhibits symptoms and there are programs and oral medicines available now in the case of her contracting it. I would definitely be expecting as much help as possible for the vulnerable children through vaccination and medicines, and i can't speak for anyone else but I would be surprised if people 'didn't give a shit'.
