There’s no need for us to be so defeatist, given the progress that we, and other countries, have seen to keep the numbers down. With a number of vaccines in development.

Herd immunity has been binned. The reality is that fully easing of restrictions fully leaves us no more than a few weeks from a March 23rd type situation - national lockdown.

This is not politically or economically sustainable.

I’ve no real idea why some persist in going against the established position that our Government has taken by continuing to push the discredited herd immunity theory of letting the virus run through the population. What are you trying to achieve? Are people that desperate for the FTSE to go up 500 points they think hundreds of thousands (Current death total has taken us to avoid 14% of the population - less than the 60-80 required for herd immunity) of lives are a price worth paying?
