The economy isn’t just some abstract tory thing though is it. Its peoples, livelihoods, how they pay the mortgage feed their family. Now I don’t think nows the time, but at some point while some are still dying businesses will need to start up again. My business is okay staying shut for another 2 or 3 weeks, I’m fine with that. At that point though money runs out, can’t pay my shop rent, have zero income can’t pay my mortgage. Britain working, the economy working isn’t about being tories, I’m not it’s about real life.
Exactly. I’m sure most of us are agreed that lockdown had to happen and many businesses had to close temporarily as a result, but if that were to go on for too long then the side effects could be millions more unemployed which would lead to way more deaths than those directly caused by Covid-19.
