Well exactly smile keeping lockdown for a few more months seems sensible I agree. But the idea of plunging the country into a weird merry go round of lockdown - normal for 18 months until we get a vaccine is frankly idiotic. The idea is its worse in winter months. Well I hate to say it but it's the UK. If we're only allowed out when it's sunny we are quite frankly fucked and will be inside for most of the year.
That's without re disruption. Not just anxiety in children but also disruption to older children's education. Fixing that will be fun for teachers won't it.
No one will know where the fuck they are. Businesses won't survive. The reason people are taking the lockdown seriously is because it's been introduced as a last measure. The longer it continues the more complacent we all become. So if we're stuck on a misery go round for 18 months there'll be rule breakers than there currently are.
It'll be chaos and a logistical nightmare. All the deaths from non covid stuff that's been shoved to one side. Chaos for employees who haven't got a clue if they're coming or going and a massive headache for employers.
Only a few months ago anyone even suggesting wfh with a child at home were jumped on as taking the piss etc etc and how can you work with kids about. People soon changed their tune didnt they?
The misery go round will cause economic insecurity. Which will in turn prevent some abused women leaving their partners or making an exit plan. It'll also increase the spread of covid as young people in crappily paid jobs won't bee able to even move out into shared accommodation. They'll be at home with their parents. We'll see the rise of multi generation households which leads to spread of the virus.
But never mind eh, think 'safety'. Fuck the future and the economy and life after this whole mess ends. We should think 'safety' and be chomping at the bit to hop on the misery go round.
