Agree, but I think at the moment, we’re in the minority! The economic impact of a long drawn out shut down would be too much to bear. Not to mention the longer term effect on people’s mental health.

I’m lucky, I live in a big house in the country, I retired early, my kids are teenagers able to look after themselves. I can only begin to imagine how hard it must be for city dwellers living in a flat, a couple of young kids, no job etc ...
