There are a huge number of indigenous small and medium businesses clinging to survival by a thread. The economic repercussions of flushing their futures down the toilet to appease a few social-media, hysteria-merchants is one which has the capacity to destroy hundreds of thousands of lives for years to come.

Boris "I shake hands with coronavirus patients" Johnson so there's no point comparing us to them as we have done a much better job, hence new case numbers here dropping and deaths spiralling out of control in the UK, chalk and cheese. It aint hope over reality. Soon all the thousands of patients awaiting major surgery who were dumped out of hospital are going to start having serious problems and will die if they don't get surgeries and other treatment. This is just one of a plethora of issues that this lockdown will start to throw up in the coming weeks. Some loosening is inevitable at the end of the month.
