I do think staying inside isn't healthy and that the effectiveness of a lockdown, which depends on full cooperation of the people, needs to be reassessed. If we're not going to cooperate with prevention measures then shutting down all the small businesses actually does create a situation that feeds right into the wildest conspiracy theories about this whole situation. The people that are the most vulnerable probably aren't going out in public anyway and now that vaccines are available maybe they can be protected that way.
I think the problem is that in a post-truth age, with egregious liars in power around the world, but specifically in the UK, it's become impossible to trust what our so-called 'leaders' tell us, about virtually anything. We know they always have their own self-serving agenda, and whatever they tell the public is designed to serve that agenda. This being the case, how can we believe their version of events, particularly when it's being driven by scaremongering and terrifying the population into believing that, unless we do as we're told - by a bunch of self serving liars who have their own agenda - we'll bring down armageddon on ourselves. I'm not a 'Covid-denier', I don't doubt that there's a nasty bug out there which has a harmful impact on a, albeit tiny, percentage of the population, but every fibre of my being tells me we're being taken for a ride. The most compelling evidence that there's skullduggery afoot is the way the powers that be have shut down all dissenting voices and all opposition to the abiding narrative, and people are being literally criminalised for the tiniest of infractions in what is effectively a Police State. We really should be tripping over corpses in the streets in order to justify the draconian measures being implemented, but the truth is hardly anyone has been ill, and most people don't know anyone who has died from this, supposedly, killer virus.
