Then those firms not using furlough, leave the funds available for the city centre cafes to access.
on the contrary you are the ignorant one. As evidenced in your above Paragraph
Citing how difficult it is for firms to employ safe systems of work, when they’ve already doing it.........
It’s a pop culture reference, albeit a dated one, that means I regard your statement akin to deranged individual.
just shows how much attention you actually pay, nearly all my posts on this issue about the government response have been critical.
No problem. 241 was a weekend bounce, but I agree rates have increased - an undeniable fact.
Highest daily total so far was 1,172 and at the peak of the pandemic, so we’re still approx at 25% of those levels
And then the NHS was not overwhelmed. Everybody that needed a bed had one, everybody that needed a ventilator had one. Current ICU beds occupied is around 620
At peak it was 3,281
So, yes I believe we have a way to go before it is a “ problem”
But what we will see now is politicians and scientific leaders actively willing numbers to go higher - otherwise they’ll look like they got it wrong or overreacted...........and we can’t have that.

Your post falls down because, as ever, you’ve responded to the points you wanted to and not the one that was actually made.
You claimed “most businesses should have a covid secure way of working” citing a small number of examples, anecdotal evidence if you will, that may not be readily transferable across the entire economy.
The reality is the vast majority are now on furlough, reduced hours or working from home. This doesn’t make for a 2019 economy, and the experience of Sweden shows that economic decline comes with people voluntarily taking risk adverse choices.
