I think you’ve just about got it spot on, my issue is those continually labelling part of society as stupid or lazy or selfish etc, the coronavirus didn’t create these people they were always there!I think that the position now is that, to a large extent, it is over the population as a whole now. The government has flattened the curve and paid out at much as it can afford to retain jobs. Now, people need to work, economies need to open or the impact on the country could be almost as devastating as the virus itself. So, you do not think that people should be out and about, stay at home as much as possible, you do not agree with pubs opening, don't go. Act as you feel you need to to keep yourself and your family safe.
People say that they have no choice in some instances other than to go back to work despite being nervous about doing so and that is something I understand. The trouble is, unless companies can build up sufficient business by October when all support goes, these people will not have a job in any event and even before then, the furlough payments will be shrinking.
It really is an unwinable situation. Yes, i guess in an ideal world you would lock down until the virus has gone or there is a vaccine. That is unrealistic from just about every angle that you can think of. So, people have to be eased back into normal life, people need to be allowed to work and people need to make a living.
I always get the feeling that those that are advocating against any relaxation are those who can afford to sit out the lockdown for as long as it takes. Those struggling either financially or mentally are far more accepting of the changes.
And, imo, knowing part of society has those traits then during this crisis the only people capable of trying to deal with or get through to these people are the Government.
Regardless of what this Government could or should of done you also of gottten those who would of still ignored what the Government set out, so therefore why do we have to keep having a dig at the idiots (who know one will change) and focus on those who have done their bit or accept that it may of been possible to get through to the borderline idiots had the Government tried a different approach in some areas.
Everything is took as anti-government dig rather than people accepting there maybe room for manouvere.
For all my anti-tory beliefs, I’m still firmly of the opinion nobody else in UK Politics would of done a better job.
