UK Covid death toll

[Tom Joad]

As much as proth would like you to think otherwise I am keen to reopen businesses and get back to normal, but the way that we have let it get out of control is down to the govt introducing late lockdowns, decanting covid patients into the worst environments and being generally apathetic. We could have handled this much better with locking down early at appropriate times (half terms) and not pandering to the libertarians who struggled with masks and not being able to supp a pint in their locals on a Friday night.

Well much as I agree with many of your posts, having a quiet pint is not a significant factor in the spread. The graph I saw had hospitality as a  3% contribution. I can imagine a few venues not being too careful but these maybe ought to have been the ones to close. Closing the couple of locals I frequent probably hasn't changed a fat lot other than push them towards insolvency. Just my onions, obviously.
