Is this going to be a repeating pattern of surge, 'circuit break', surge, 'circuit break' etc, over this Winter as outlined in one of the many papers released back in March / April? How long before people get genuinely fed up of it all?
To an extent they already are. As a nation we need to start working out how we are all going to live with this long term as it's not going away and while it's absolutely right to support those affected by the virus right now it can't go on forever as I am already uncomfortable with the level of debt we are leaving to the next generations. Lockdowns and restrictions are the right thing to do in the short term, but we need to be realistic and establish a longer term plan in the time we are buying ourselves with the lockdowns etc.
