The ONLY reason lock-down measures have been relaxed is financial. The country is already billions in debt becasue of the pandemic and will be even more beholding to those banks lending us the money to pay for everything. (what power they have).
Still, from a humanistic point of view I think it's a massive mistake relaxing the lock-down a sit is going to cut short the lives of many more people than if we continue a full lock-down until a suitable cure is found.
I'm sure that we will get a massive rise in deaths in the next few months because of this financial oriented led phase of the lock-down.
Is it worth allowing us all these new freedoms. I don't think so. There will be many families regretting this move by our government when they lose close ones; especially as the government have consistently ignored expert advise on what we should and should not be doing.
Even though I was born into a strong working class Labour family I've supported the conservatives for the past three decades and still do, but I'm saddened to see the route they have taken over the course of this awful pandemic; basically all those deaths that are yet to come are what we call Collateral Damage as they think the financial crisis is more important that a few mere human beings.
I deserve a round of applause!
