I don't disagree, but look at Germany.
They had 'the best in the world', and they're in ultra-strict lockdown.

I wouldn’t call their tracing best in the world. They did quite well with testing though. Their tracing was already overwhelmed 4-6 weeks ago.

One gp surgery has told sky news that only 12%!!! Of people have taken up the vaccine offer as they want ot get Xmas out if the way first.
Selfish old barstewards. Millions of people putting their lives on hold to protect them and they give us the middle finger.
I'd inject them with something else beginning with C when they have gotten themselves ready

Yeah it isn't actually a positive for the economy to do nothing because a portion of the population is still going to decide not to get the deadly virus and not spend money as a result.
Which is a fact many on here, online etc who were critical (rightly so) of the UK's track and trace didn't say. It was all painted as a perfect picture everywhere else but here.
The UK have - as of late, as in the last few months - done pretty well with testing. That's why cases are higher - more people are getting tested efficiently.
The 'trace' part relies on a lot of stuff and I'm not saying that the UK did it right. But clearly, nowhere in Europe has got it right, or they wouldn't be back into lockdown.

What the Dippin’ Dots ‘cold chain’ can teach us about COVID-19 vaccines
The new COVID-19 vaccine requires a "cold chain" to maintain its quality in transit. Confused? Look to Dippin' Dots for answers.

And have millions more people out of work, depressed, their entire lives in ruin...
Fear. Fear and more fear.
I'm not defending our useless government, not one bit, or every useless government. But we do that, and there's not much to come back to after.

Flu season + Covid19 will overwhelm the NHS.
I suppose there's a choice: keep the economy churning on and have bodies piling up in morgues or denying this virus bodies to infect and innoculating against it.
We're currently in the middle of flu season. There are more free beds right now - not counting Nightingale hospitals - than there were this time last year. This time last year, when we supposedly had one of the worst flu seasons we've had, which was clearly down to covid being present here this time last year and we just had no idea.
There is no choice between the economy and health. It ends up merging into one.
I'm not on about not being able to go to the pub. We can all manage. But the person who owns that pub, and the people that supply said pub, and the people that supply them...
Then who will want to open a new business after this? A new independent shop or cafe? You'd have to be mental.
It all goes on and on and on.

Unless something remarkable happens it’s clear as night follows day that we’re heading for another lockdown and plenty of more Covid deaths.
Never mind though, we’ll all get the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with Grandma and Uncle Fred before they pass on at the hands of Covid-19...which they caught at the family Christmas do!
Merry Christmas Everyone!

We're living through a pandemic. You cant just crack on. Your argument 40 years ago would have been seen for the nonsense it is - that was prior to the brain washing of the public to believe we should order our society through neo-liberalism and give 'all importance' to the market.
The sound and fury over lockdowns are due to the state recognising that we cant just go on as normal and let the market dictate. That's seen them butting heads with corporate interests and market ideologues. In a public health crisis neo-liberal policies have had to be reined in and neutered - for the time being at least. And we should be going further still. The state can pay for this crisis. That's what its there for.
