Bars and Pubs could be OPEN by JUNE! - Update - 2 - Health


Lets Get Real:

The question is how much pressure will the UK Treasury place on No 10 to get the UK economy moving.  How much Billions will be added to the national debt by COVID - 19.  Will the Conservative backbench MPs start to worry about 2024 and the general election.  The PM has had COVID - 19, he knows how pressure it places on the body and how long it takes to recover.  The PM does not want a second wave of COVID - 19 that could be worse than the first wave was, that is what happened with the Spanish Flu in 1918.  It is better to be careful than find you want more body bags in October.  At least the Labour Party under its new leader is an effective Opposition, it has to be careful that it does not jump to far ahead of the public, that could be dangerous in political landmines terms.

Data from COVID - 19 - Update 1 - Health


Lets Get Real:

In the past two days the numbers of deaths in UK hospitals had gone down, now it has gone back up to 586 over the past 24 hours.   The PM is right to keep the lockdown going, the lockdown can only be lifted in parts once the numbers have fallen on a daily level.   The UK economy is important, but the health of the UK must come first, the question is how long the UK public will put up with these restrictions, the pubs have to open before Christmas or the small ones will just close for good.  There is only so much money the UK can spend, before it becomes silly money.   The economy fall should not be that deep, the UK Treasury has spent billions on wages, loans and other measures, let's hope that it is enough.
