This is simply not the case.

Didn’t say “rely”, said large %. Football has TV/ sponsorship revenue. Stadium revenue ( for PL at least) has long been superfluous to income. It is not known how the how or if the smaller non-league clubs Will fair. Likewise small independent cinemas and theatre are still an unknown. It’s a poor comparison anyway.
To deny that restaurants, Bars, scooter hire that are experiencing a 60-70% drop in footfall won’t be affected is blinkered to say the least.
They may survive, but the comment was based around economic impact and recovery.
It will have an economic impact, and we’ll find out how big it was come November- ish.

Countries won’t advocate this because we know what happens - Italy in February, Spain and UK in March. To bury heads in the sand and wish away the virus isn’t viable.

It’s not February or March though. It’s August.

We are at or near the limit of our lockdown easement strategy.
Even if the country eased all restrictions people simply wouldn’t behave as they did before. It’s neither a good strategy in health or economic terms.

We’ll see, as cases continue to stay in the 0.0X % zone, people will more and more question restrictions.
Schools going back is the next big one, if they go back without a jump in infections.
