An article on the economy based on waffley non-factual opinions is about as meaningful as an article on a poem based on mathematics. This is a serious issue. Opinion pieces don’t really belong in the debate. Particularly when that opinion is based on nothing short of a guess that x will be greater than y.
well written Mel, there is and will be many more scientific papers written around Covid and some interesting comparisons between the approaches, we are lucky to be able to shut the door as an island. Only time will tell which is best. I was skeptical initially of the hard line as there are nearly 1 million die each year from "normal" flu around the world but because Covid is so new it hits hard & fast overwhelming the health system. I do wonder if level 3 would have been sufficient. Gaia will keep throwing things at the human plague overrunning the planet to reduce it to sustainable levels!
Thank you for your well-considered approach to this subject.
