Was it really worth wrecking the economy for? Other reports say half the population have already had it, so there is no need to extend the lockdown any longer than is necessary. I'm please that both Trump and Boris hope to get things moving again ASAP
When Boris and Prince Charles recover without incident, the public will become a little less hysterical about this.
The Cure must never lead to a worse outcome than the original problem. You don't demolish your house because you a bit of damp.
I know everyone here disagrees, but there will be many more deaths from economic collapse and poverty related issues, not to mention mental health, suicide and physical health issues arising from forced isolation - obesity, drug abuse, alcoholism. also domestic violence. You cannot lock people down for long, as we may find out soon
Just from anecdotal evidence, I can see the strain and stress in people's faces when I go for my walks and I go to Tesco and other shops that are open. In the mornings, the booze aisle in Tesco if fairly full, when I come back at 9pm it's been cleared. People are self medicating.
This is not sustainable and I pleased King Boris seems to agree with me
