SIR – The idea that we should expect a repetition of curbs on normal life next winter, with sections of the economy shut down anew, needs to be firmly scotched now.
We will be at the other side of the “game-changing” vaccination campaign. Covid will be another of the endemic respiratory viruses we have to contend with.
The public-health authorities seem to have got it into their heads that it is their job to abolish mortality at whatever cost.
We should heed the lessons of this pandemic, practising rigorous hand hygiene and not spluttering all over colleagues and fellow passengers by struggling into work when we are ill.

RACINE â With a February deadline at the forefront of organizersâ minds, a group is pushing the Racine Unified School Board to take the next steps in what has been a three-year project to create a new charter school in Racine.
Members of the Racine Scholars Academy governance board came before The Racine Unified School Board on Dec. 7 to update RUSDâs board on progress.
School plan
Racine Scholars Academy is a school that has been approved by the RUSD board but does not have a location yet. It is planned to serve students from Pre-K through fifth grade.
The plan would be to start with pre-kindergarten classes through second grade in the first year, then add one grade each year: two classrooms per grade level. Students who apply would be admitted to the school through a lottery system if there are more than 50 students at a grade level. The overall school population would cap at about 324.
