Unless the Premiership support them they won't.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Take a look at this table and see how fatal it’s isn’t for those without pre existing conditions.

And in the last week, an extra 5 covid deaths in English hospitals (excluding those with serious existing conditions), 3 between 60 and 80 years old and 2 over 80. None under 60 years old.

I wonder how many people supporting this are in danger of losing their job and maybe finding no work and losing their home.

We really should never do anything ever again. Just let the key workers crack on for ever.

I’m not the most political person, so please shoot me down if necessary. But I do love a conspiracy theory.
The death figure sounds horrendous, 45k dead through this virus in the UK, however is that true? Heard their maybe an enquiry that people may have died through other causes yet been put down as COVID - 19.
The media havnt helped anything , they pushed for lockdown , couldn’t wait to have their red banner saying “government order stay at home”
Was this all worth it ? Locking down the world ? For a virus that has a supposed death rate of 0.33%? Or is it for something bigger? A test to see if they can “lock the world down” create panic and control, using all they can to get details of everyone etc “test and trace” just a thought really.

2 younger females in the wine aisle yesterday talking about their masks, touching the front, moving them around during their shopping. Laughable. Just wash your hands before touching your face again.

There was always a good case for enacting sensible measures early that limit spread to the point of inconvenience territory rather than just shut down. Good hygiene in business, a degree of distancing, masks in certain environments, no mass gatherings and so on. It was instead an all or nothing non-approach of the Cheltenham Festival one day and a world on pause the next. The government saw what was happening elsewhere... and did nothing.

It's also important to consider that, especially in the states, this is being used as a huge redistribution of wealth. 'No crisis should go to waste' as the saying goes. The government are throwing the crumbs to the average Joe and giving trillions specifically to companies on the stock exchange to stop it tanking. But the stock market is not the wider economy. They're basically throwing trillions in the direction of their mates, in the form of 'loans' that do not actually have to be paid back. As per usual it's not corporations or rich that will be suffering - they'll do just fine out of this - it's the man on the street. Combine that with a society that was already geared towards credit and living paycheck to paycheck and, beyond covid, it lifts the lid once again on a rigged game. We're told to clap key workers and to appreciate the kind of person who keeps society ticking over.. but they're the exact same people who always get shafted.

Isn't that the case, that a country can seemingly borrow zillions that realistically it can never re-pay?
