If by "controlled tightly at places where the highest risk of death is" you mean "shielding", "cocooning" or whatever then this might be interesting:

That "clusters should be identified and tackled as and when they happen" is the essence of test/trace/isolate and I absolutely agree.

The thought would be more aligned to those who are in care homes and/or near end of life.

You know why I do that now, I realise that this is an emotive subject and it could’ve personally impacted some posters on here.

To that end I try not to make it “about me” (who really cares!) and I much prefer to post articles from people who are far, far more qualified than me but admittedly are more aligned with my thinking.

So forgive me for not being as forthright as you want me to be but I have explained why.

Forgive me for not allowing you, or others, opportunity to start a virtual argument which is based on an opinion of myself as a mere fitba fan.

Hopefully that gives you the clarification that you were looking for?

You could be Jackson Carlaw for all I know.

Done...almost, but not quite, as bad as being branded a Jambo!

I may have taken that too far.

I still think that the virus should be controlled tightly at places where the highest risk of death is and that clusters should be identified and tackled as and when they happen.

I’m also very unsure why you are really interested in a football fans view of how to control a virus.. I’d much rather critique what the experts are saying.

Isn't that what you're doing though? You've referenced refraining from dragging up posts from people previously (presumably to illustrate that you were right and they were wrong), so if you're so interested in football fans' views to the point where you'd consider casting them up again, why not yours?

Thanks. It'll be interesting to see how this develops as more and more nations move out of full lockdown.

The Independent is especially scathing of the Swedish approach:

I’ve tried to de-escalate some of the posts from last night and make it non personal, why start it all over again?

It was a childish thing for me to cast up previous posts, I got caught up in the moment simply because some of the comments made towards my opinion were OTT. I should’ve been the better person.

If someone wants to quote some of my previous threads and take great pleasure in proving me wrong then crack on, I really don’t take any offence in this virtual world of made up names.

It is what it is.

All Welsh schools to re-open this month:

I'm guessing their term-time is similar to England's (ie summer holidays don't start until late July) as opposed to the Scottish system where schools would normally be breaking up for the holidays in a couple of weeks.
