Posing lockdown as a 'restriction to freedom' is not helpful when life is on the line?!
Alert system is kl but why not flatten curve properly + prevent second wave?
Invest in supporting key workers, renters + furlough scheme?
The NHS *has* been overwhelmed?!
The spin is wild.
Many (inc me) have been told to shield on medical advice until July MIN. So hospitality industry should stay closed. Not worth risk. Letting ppl out for tennis, Pimms + more Vera Lynn is gross negligence... contradictory to offer more freedoms + higher fines. SO STAY HOME.
Why are the press unwilling to question what BoJo is asking? How can you go back to work without public transport? And no guaranteed safety? Willing to risk more lives. No word on testing, just a push to return to normal + more harm.
The way he converted 1000's of lost lives into a victory story, when those deaths could have been prevented is dystopian on a level even my cynical brain is struggling with. And now he's willing to risk even more lives - think about who is most likely to have to head back first.
