Do you really think the current shower of s*** care about ordinary working people? All the Masses are to them, are profit generators. This government really couldn't care if millions died. They really, really couldn't. They've already proven that by cutting the NHS to ribbons. But they DO care about protecting their wealth. Sick and dead people can't generate profits. So it's in their interests to keep at least most of them alive. There is more than enough actual wealth in the UK, to provide all the PPE etc needed, all the healthcare needed, and to provide everyone with at least a basic living in terms of rents and mortgages paused (in many cases, suspending those causes no economic damage in the long term anyway), food provided and care for those who need it, for many months, if not years. Have you any idea of how much money is leeched out of us all? Trillions. Quadrillions. Quintillions. All sitting in offshore bank accounts. Funny how UK governments always seem to find money down the back of the sofa when some funny foreign brown people threaten to stop the flow of oil revenue, isn't it? Yet they can't supply NHS and care staff with PPE? Really?
The jobs will still be there; the need for industry and services won't have stopped. The Capitalist machine will continue to rumble on...
You clearly don't even understand basic virology, in spite of the wealth of information available, and you think
I'm talking b*****ks?
Bottom line; if this government really cared about us, and wanted to ensure the least damage caused by this virus, it would have acted weeks before it did, and it wouldn't even be talking about easing restrictions until the scientists, you know, those pesky 'experts', said doing so was a good idea. It would have provided ALL NHS, care, delivery etc staff with PPE. The only thing that will affect the decision making process, is what suits the most wealthy. End of.
