I'm not so sure ..... There could be a case for :- "The CURE cannot be worse than the Virus Crisis". Even though there are Lockdown's, with all that goes with it, People are still going to Supermarkets, Grocery Stores, etc, to get essential food supplies. Obviously within those establishments they do so keeping their distances from each other. But people are mixing there, they are possibly touching stuff that other people touched, etc, etc .... So why is it that going to an office or to a manufacturing facility should be so much more of a risk ? Sensible safeguards could also be implemented in those environments. From what the current accumulated statistics are showing, the major portion of the population who have, unfortunately, died from COVID-19 have been those over the age of about 60 years. Maybe that age group should not be in an office or manufacturing environment at the present time. In addition, anyone who suffers from an ailment that makes them particularly vulnerable to the effects of his virus should also not be out and about. We are told that the Virus enters primarily via mouth and nose. So the sensible thing to do is to keep them covered. Hands tend to touch mouths and noses with habit. So keep them washed and also sprayed with an appropriate solution kept on one's person in a spray bottle. I go nowhere without mine. It seems then that a vast number of the remaining work population could now be out there earning a living and ensuring that the ECONOMY of the WHOLE COUNTRY doesn't "go down the tube", seeing also as vast supplies of preventive "gear" have been coming on stream ....
