Getting the balance right between losing lives to the virus and lives being ruined by economic catastrophe is not a challenge I would particularly want to be faced with and held responsible for.

I'm not particularly religious but I do now find myself having the occassional prayer like thought that we all make it through this as unscathed as possible.

Agree with all of that and what Driller said, but the government are still digging their heels in with issues like the exiting the European Early Warning and Response System and extending the Brexit transition period.

There’s no point in ‘following the science’ in one area and then being patently ideological in another.
