Emma Telford, in her letter to the Hereford Times of June 18 gave a convincing assessment of the relatively low risk of the Covid-19 epidemic.

The sooner we are fully back to normal we will be relieved of the disruption from the activist groups using Covid-19 to promote their obsessions.

For example, the climate loonies who want to knock us back to the Stone Age are revelling in the huge reduction in energy usage and travel. They say it is not enough.

The politicians who secretly desire to smash capitalism keep urging an extension of the lockdown. As if the damage to business so far is insufficient.

The authoritarians keen to electronically tag everyone see the test and trace system as the fulfilment of their wildest dreams.

Roll on normality!
