Completely agree re lockdowns, people grew weary and let’s face it lockdowns 3& 4 weren’t even lockdowns.
What happens to businesses/staff and to NHS staff if we live with the virus? How many hundreds of thousands if not millions of people will be sick or need to self isolate ?
I don’t want the NHS to collapse, it’s not without faults but I’m immensely proud of the service we have.
We can put in further financial assistance to help businesses and it can be paid for

It doesn’t financially, think about the SSP claims…. Also, businesses that are having to pay sick pay but are unable to operate due to staff shortages. They would be screaming for financial assistance again
