The country is spending money it can't afford - especially considering there is a an alternative to the present lockdown insanity - protect the vulnerable and let the rest of us get on with life.

And
And
So Covid 19 is a relatively minor killer in the wider scheme of things, many of the people it kills have underlying health conditions that would have killed them soon or would have died of old age in the near future; shielding is what's needed, not lockdowns.
As scientists outside of the decision making tent have repeatedly shown statistically, the current strategy is weapons grade stupidity. What has happened is both the government and its scientific advisors have f---ed up royally and are desperate to avoid admitting their mistakes. So are holding to the same stupid course so they don't have to admit to having made a major error.
Unfortunately for them, the tide of critical articles in the media pointing out the above is steadily rising - and when the inevitable move to shielding happens the government will suffer massive reputational damage while many of the scientists advising the government will hit the career buffers.
