Hahaha ok mate
This policy of 'living with covid' at the current levels is costly, because it relies of clinical intervention to treat rather than prevent. Which you seem to champion.

Our current method is prevention - face masks, vaccination, isolation is relatively cheap - you aren't in favour.

Your preferred option is costly, but the current government will not fund the cost of implementation. So someone (local and national commissioners) will have to decide where that money comes from.

What would you cut?

This is pretty much what we should be focusing on, and the true reason the NHS is buckling. The money is there.

Also I am in favour of vaccination.

Didn't be naive.

It might be, but we live in a world where the current government have an 80 seat majority are pushing through changes to current NHS legislation and have just announced a costly 'living with covid policy' that you seem to favour, but seemingly haven't worked out the cost of and the next general election is 2 years away.

So....Financial year is starting afresh, you've got to cut something from the provider services in your area to pay for anti virals for roughly 25% of your population (national policy) - what are you getting rid of?
 
It's all about saving Boris now and declaring Covid over, so no more time or effort needs to be spent on it by him. It's so obvious it's staring everyone in the face. Some will just choose to look away though because it suits them. Unfortunately not everyone gets that luxury.

The sick pay arrangements is a disgrace. Then he had the audacity to go on about Germany but eternally stupid will cheer him. In Germany you get 100% salary for 6 weeks, and then 78 weeks at 50%. You get £96.35 here (UK) for 28 weeks.

Then 1 in 6 workers in customer facing sectors get no sick pay at all. And this is all just one part of work force!

And of course Boris and chums believe the Ukraine crisis creates the perfect ruse to bury COVID.

I would start by cutting the 3% pay rise for MP’s down to about 1% and go from there.
