Going to work, is a good reason to go out. If you are sensible and take precautions no problem.
It was a figure of speech, as well you know. Point being kill off small businesses, that have long been known to be the engine of the economy, you seriously damage the economy.

I got removed from this thread for persisting with the opinion that the UK Government and it's scientific advisers are wrong.
Now that they are in line with the global consensus the obvious question becomes what makes you think you know better than them?
The Government - and all Governments - need to protect personal incomes and living standards and get people to stay at home. Yes protect small businesses and even responsible larger ones. Considering every major Government is in the same boat what's the genuine cost? Zero. Every major economy could print money to do this and lose no comparative advantage to each other (the main reason countries don't do this to pay their own debt) and come out the other end in two months with consumer confidence booming.
