There is one simple solution to get us through Δ quickly and make everyone happy: remove all mandates (vaccination, masking, much of testing) and continue to make vaccination as readily available as possible. Allow me to explain why: No doubt the UK has got through Δ.  Its Δ corona fatality rate is no more than that of mild seasonal flu. The total deaths have been below the baseline (i.e., safer than a normal year) (it may go above the baseline slightly due to the report delay). The UK Δ case rate went up to about 80% of the peak of the previous wave, but its fatality rate topped at only 5% of the previous peak. They went into Δ with about 75% immunized (60% via vaccination, 15% via infection). This means that Δ is so contagious that vaccination offers very limited protection against infection, but tremendous protection again death.  Chances are that most are infected, but the vast majority experience little illness.
