Nobody has all the answers, I agree with that, but some people have absolutely none. Nothing but noise filling a void in an empty hope that GDP will recover without solving the health emergency.

As ever Old Boy I’ve got extremely bad news for you. It’s going to be a long hard winter.

The only thing bizarre here is the fact you seem to contradict everything I say for the sake of it despite your track record of being proven wrong time and again. We’re never going to go down the Sweden route here so you better cross your fingers that the vaccine works and we get first dibs or this recession will go on for years.
When did I say herd immunity was 'lasting'? Your word, not mine.

I am absolutely convinced that herd immunity is the solution. However, if we keep slowing the virus down like this and the immunity is only relatively short term, it could come back and re-infect those who have already had it. That is the risk we take by having lockdowns.

There is nothing contradictory about my argument on this. It is you twisting what I am saying.

As for the economy, that will recover provided the PM isn't pushed into a position of having a second national lockdown of the kind we saw this spring. A second lockdown would indeed be disastrous for the economy, as well as rather pointless.
