"Sizeable part of the way" is pretty close to a "full" of anything.
From your post #4638

Plan A should have been aiming to eradicate the virus. Plan B a vaccine.
At no stage have I ever suggested locking everyone up forever. As ever, Old Boy, you present the straw man argument.
You continue to be under the flawed logic that no lockdown = economy working as normal. 100% wrong. While I advocated a longer, stronger lockdown, protecting incomes and businesses along the way to get everyone out the other side in much the same position as before.
You however present the incoherent economics of austerity to save us. People lost their jobs. People spend less. More people lose their jobs. More people spend less. Cycle continues. For years.
It's not my fault your ideology makes you incapable of bold thinking, of 'entrepreneurial spirit' I think you call it.
When all is said and done a coherent strategy of eradicating the virus through isolating everyone as much as possible, for as long as possible, while protecting incomes will be proven to be better for public health and the economy.

So how is a "stronger lockdown", not more than a "full lockdown"?
