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.
So you’re convinced that the solution is herd immunity, but are unconvinced that such immunity will be lasting, as long as we open up the economy to put more people at risk?

Well, Old Boy. There’s nothing I can really say to such ignorance.
