      British people will make enough babies to replace losses from Covid-19 within five years. German, Spanish, Japanese, South Korean, Singapore and French people don't breed anymore so that isn't an option.
      And for the UK, so many casualties were elderly and the same elders still refused vaccine priority, letting young ones have them before they do. I wonder if they became convinced that if they died, their surviving grandchildren will eat? Surviving two recessions would do that to your mindset, something youngsters born in the 90's would not understand.
