      I look at what’s happening in several U.S. states including my home state Florida; I look at Israel and Spain and Iran and...and I know that everyone wants the economy to go full steam ahead in the UK. But I fear we will be in another lockdown within months, if not weeks.

      Why would the UK be any different? This is what I asked myself also on Feb & March when the UK stayed fully open while others moved in opposite direction. Eliminate the virus over the summer then open up safely. Otherwise enter winter & flu season in a dangerous halfway house.

      I know the economy is suffering & jobs are being lost. I recognise the toll that lockdown has taken and I’m not ‘pro-lockdown’ at all. In fact my worry is about a second lockdown & how to avoid this happening. Lockdown/release cycles will destroy society & the economy.

      Gov’ts need to look ahead 6-8 months and make a plan, make a strategy for how to protect their residents lives & jobs & how they will weather the storm. Encouraging people to pretend the virus is gone & to celebrate the end of the pandemic is negligent.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/22/pandemic-zero-coronavirus-britain …

          Tough decisions ahead & can’t have it all without a vaccine. Opening schools, or keeping pubs & bars open. Keeping borders largely closed or having free movement & constant outbreaks. Saying popular things like ‘eat out & party’ or prioritising those shielding & vulnerable.

          Having studied outbreaks in poor countries, I look at US & UK and see what a privileged position these countries are in giving their wealth & resources.They can truly protect their residents unlike poor countries which have all the odds stacked against them.Why don’t they do it?

          I'm sure in December, you will get shot down for saying "well i did try to tell you". England's governments shortsightedness and profit before people is a disgrace.

          The public are being led into believing the virus is over because our national broadcaster no longer publishes UK-wide daily death figures. When most people rely on @BBCNews, it's understandable that many (wrongly) think #COVID19 is almost gone.

          do you think Scotland can still effectively eliminate this, even with more restrictions being lifted?

          If there has been a plan until now, the directions to the public have been so poorly delivered and then so entirely undermined, it is as if there has been no strategy at all. My non-medic circle think this is over. And why wouldn't they?

          It has NEVER made sense to have premature lifting of measures designed to reduce Covid prevalence in order to "save the economy". Properly get on top of it,to allow a return to as near "normal" as possible was always the sensible way. Sadly, sensible left the room a while back.
