We are heading towards a dangerous situation in which people who've neither had covid, nor the vaccine, are treated as second-class citizens.
Firms are coming forward demanding mandatory vaccinations of staff. That's great once the vaccine is available to all, but until then?

Similarly, there are hints that some lockdown restrictions could be loosened in future for those who've had the virus and recovered from it.
But that punishes the prudent, especially those under 50 who are still a very long way from receiving one (or two?!) doses of a vaccine.

Far fairer, surely, for *everyone* to suffer, but for a shorter time? (Better for the economy too.)
If we clamp down even further and get the virus incidence way, way down - like over summer 2020 - that buys time to vaccinate tens of millions more people.

If not, there's a danger of people going out to infect themselves deliberately so that they can then experience a "more normal" life, and so that they don't have to keep taking (often unpaid) time off work when they're told to self-isolate.
