I am not going to get involved in a discussion on this subject but must comment that your 2 nd paragraph describes yourself perfectly

This is all very worrying and also very predictable. The virus has just speeded up what was inevitable that is the decline of the high street and new technology replacing people.

I feel sorry for those that have lost their jobs or the young who have not even started but they will need to start looking at different areas of the economy as the stalwarts such as the food / drink / hospitality / retail sectors are dying on their feet.

The care sector is one of the few sectors that will have employment growth.

It also means the government must ensure we do not have lots of unskilled labour arriving from overseas as we will have more than enough of our own.

Nightingale hospitals being dismantled. Hmmm....

A few comments. I have a scientific background, but believe what you want.
I have witnessed the devastation CV-19 can cause. Some people are carriers and show no symptoms, to others it kills, or massively impacts their life in the long-term. A neighbour from Forest Hill caught CV-19 and was lucky enough to survive, after 30 days in a coma. However, months later she still finds it painful to even walk.
The conflicting guidance from local Governments is not helpful. Citing 'regional differences' is merely an excuse for conflicting advice.
Then you not only get c-units arranging 'events' like this, but you have idiots paying for the privilege of putting everyone's life at risk

Now the Government states there is little evidence that schools will spread CV-19. There is little evidence because kids are on their holidays, you retards.

And I am falling in love with Nicola Sturgeon. How refreshing for a politician to say "yes, we messed that up", regarding the grading scheme for GCSE's, and used the word "sorry". On the whole she is doing everything right and politicians could take a look at her conduct and learn how to behave and do the right thing.

And Sturgeon is better looking than Wee Jimmy Krankie

I disengage, I turn the page.

Good points, and well made. I had temporarily forgotten about Sturgeons manipulation of data regarding making Scotland independent. Scotland is not economically viable being independent, unless it is propped-up by being in the EU.

And the world data so far on CV-19 is encouraging that schools seem to be safer than they were a few months ago. However, the lack of data regarding UK school's safety is of concern.
Kids/parents showing no symptoms and being carriers is an issue, especially with people going back to their place of work. I know teachers who are 'vulnerable', or they have people in their household who are also classed as vulnerable.

I guess the only way to find out is by exposing people. But wasn't that the 'herd immunity' thing that the Government initially swerved ?

I disengage, I turn the page.

And that is why you shield children who are vulnerable or their parents are vulnerable. Same in offices where the concern is someone vulnerable could catch it off a parent of a school child.
