Boris Johnson has asked officials to prepare a suite of possible measures that could help avoid shutting down the economy for a second time, after he said that he wanted to avoid another lockdown.

The options include a programme of "enhanced" or "differential" shielding, as part of which vulnerable people would be asked to remain at home while the rest of the population continued to move around freely. One proposal is for the shielded group to be allocated specific times of the week to have exclusive access to some services and shops.
Key words being “help avoid”.

Yes, we all want to avoid a second lockdown. However if these proposed measures don’t work back into lockdown we go. It’s inevitable.

It’s notable that the language throughout doesn’t rule it out.
