ONS data released this mornings says that 782,000 employee jobs have now been lost since March 2020
I cant but question the logic of this so called lockdown we are in.

I say so called because so many things are now deemed essential and are open. Garden Centres, Estate Agents, DIY stores, Pet supplies, Vets, Dentists, Garages, MOT centres, Trades doing non essential work in peoples homes like decorating, all Schools and Unis and Colleges. The roads in our area are as busy now as they were a week ago. Surely a 2 week full lockdown would have been better if you wanted to reduce cases sharply?

Secondly new cases in the UK had levelled off 3 weeks ago arround the 19th/20th October and have been averaging between 21,000 to 23,000 a day since then.

IMO It will just damage some sectors of the economy further and possibly needlessly.
