Delays save lives, Old Boy. The demand side of the economy.

We aren’t Sweden, cultural differences, I’d just accept the inevitable from here on in.

Interestingly while you are here - as a Sweden advocate - would you support the 40% of the UK workforce who can work from home continuing to do so - in line with the Swedish recommendations on making living with the virus sustainable?
I'm just catching up, jfman. I don't pore over the forum 24/7, and it takes time to look at everything you've missed while you are away.

There is a logic deficit in your second paragraph. Delays only delay, they do not 'save'.

My comparison with Sweden is simply to point out that they did not have a full lockdown as we did and they don't appear to have suffered for that. As I understand it, you want us to hibernate for winter, and doubtless beyond.

I have no problem with people working from home, although if too many people do that, unemployment will result from those who are employed in businesses that rely on people being in the office. Basically, what I want to see is government advice on how to keep yourself and vulnerable members of your family safe and then leave compliance to the good sense of the vast majority.

The minority will not be controlled anyway without martial law, so nothing would be lost by such a policy.
