(1)Tory right headbangers like Iain Duncan Smith demanding an end to Lockdown are also responsible for all the cuts & privatisation to infection control measures needed to exit - or even avoid - lockdown - hacking at NHS, PHE, Care, Local Authority resources for years.

(2)The NHS is run "hot" so they are scared it would be overwhelmed. Stockpiles of PPE left to rot. Public Health England a weak org unable to do infection control / Track-Trace. Local Authorities & Local Health Directors left with weak resources. Little Public Info structures

(3)Lockdown is a blunt tool (With good infection control it can be almost entirely avoides - as per S. Korea) Thanks to the "Laisser -Faire" politics of IDS, the govt went into lockdown too late, meaning it's harder to get out of.

(4)And now they want to get us out of lockdown in the same, cheap, privatised, low-pay-worker-in-high-viz-jacket way, with Serco et al running a plastic imitation of actual infection control.
