Keeping kids out of school, workers off from work? how are you paying for all this there comes a point when the solution should not be worse than the original problem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because relaxing the lock down now will only lead to the lock down happening again in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadic Raptor Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 No deaths are acceptable but it’s a fact of life. risks are taken by everyone every day. but the solution should not be worse than the problem. How many people will lose jobs houses food everything because they can’t pay bills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, here in the Isle of Man, there is no need for a lockdown any more, just common sense from people to be on their toes,and targeting testing when needed. The UK is completely different. I personally think it'll be ok for schools to go back, but I'd rather they went back when the people who work in them are happy to. The border question is out of our hands, a slight relaxation for people who have valid genuine reasons might be a start, but its a waiting game really. If the UK wasn't so inept... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
