All this government seem to care about is implementing their bonkers "green" agenda and IR35.
Probably just calculates that the reduction in aged NHS users could well save the service from implosion; well let's see if his party can survive the backlash when in the aftermath we see which strategies worked in other countries and which didn't.

Much as I hate agreeing with Johnson, it appears that he's right (at least regarding schools) according to the book I'm reading atm.Originally posted by AtW View Post“ But Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the government's scientific advisory group for emergencies (Sage) had told him that closing schools and stopping big gatherings "don't work as well perhaps as people think in stopping the spread".
He told ITV's This Morning programme: "One of the theories is perhaps you could take it on the chin, take it all in one go and allow the disease to move through the population without really taking as many draconian measures. I think we need to strike a balance."
Mr Johnson said it would be "business as usual" for the "overwhelming majority" of people in the UK.”
