They don't do furlough and most folks work for themselves with very little employee rights. They are desperate. A low COVID death rate, yet thousands die day to day from everyday travel.

The same sort of thing is happening here. We have basically shut down a country over a few thousand deaths. Which, lets be fair here, are maily in the pensioner/ill health bracket.
It has now been said, that 60 000 people will die from cancer, due to lack of treatment because of this lock down. I'm sure they are very grateful, that the old and infirm got priority. Harsh I know. But that's a fact.
Maybe, with hindsight, they should have had CV hospitals dealing exclusively with CV patients and others handling the usual day to day stuff of A&E, heart, lung, liver, brain, cancer etc treatment rather than "furlough" them in favour of CV treatments.
