Public behaviour is often touted - people more likely to adhere to rules etc. Well if people open their eyes they should see that's a small price to pay for a semblance of normality. It'd also get the internal economy back on it's feet sooner.
But no, it's too hard/too costly continues to be the mantra. I'm sure when we reflect on the costs in a few years it'd have been a relative bargain.

According to Deputy Chief Medical officer Jonathan Van-Tam in the press conference he has just given he stated the Covid surge in the North is now spreading to the south of England.
Not good news given the tier lockdown level 3 which is going to be announced for many parts of the north later today by the government.
