Elderly residents in my area have become worried, depressed and desperate because they cannot get the medical attention they need, and your brilliant solution is more of the same. Which, unfortunately, will not yield a different result.
The increasing number of local lockdowns in the country tells you all you need to know about the futility of this policy. It’s time for a different approach. jfman ‘s doomsday solution has clearly failed.

Haha it's not my policy Old Boy, I'm not a policy maker after all. There is no other approach, nor has there ever been one. People with serious illnesses can't afford for Covid to run right through society uncontrolled as the idiots advocate.
Interesting you caveated working from home by promoting the dying trades linked to city centre working. Sounds awfully socialist to try and restrict rational choices for businesses to abandon offices in the current climate. That's capitalism after all - if you offer a service nobody is wants or needs you go out of business. There's no balancing act under pure capitalism.
