A study by doctors at China’s Shangqiu municipal hospital of 38 men hospitalised with the disease found that six of them(16%), tested positive for Sars-CoV-2 in their semen.

Its all superposition!! Second peaks mean nothing if the first peak didn't do the harm that it was predicted to do. I think the Uk has been compliant to this point because of the generous furlough scheme. Apparently a lot of people are better off as they save the cost of travel to work and childminding. The government is proposing to reduce its contribution at the end of June and you may well see a different attitude.  A friend of mine who work for a big accounting firm that does valuations on retail properties told me that a lot of retail companies are expecting real problems when they return and any return of this over the winter period that effects xmas trade will wipe them out. The demand for things like jewellery, high end clothes etc is expected to be very low. Public opinion will soon turn against the government if the economy takes too big a hit and the tories are well aware of this.

I think public opinion will quickly go against this government. They have tried to be all things to all people and failed. They started off with their herd immunity plan which soon turned in to 2 month of lock down. They really cannot afford to let the economy crash.

Thats the point isn't it Dealer. Isolating in your country house where the police can't knock on your door leaves the experience a little easier than a family in a flat or small house. Your next door neighbour won't be grassing you for going to the shops more than once a week and you won't be needing to look for a job at the end of it.

Should the cabinet have gone to live on council estates for a few months before making a decision?  --  I suppose it is a reflection on who we vote in to govern us. Regardless of whether the decision is right or wrong I would like to think the people making it have some empathy with those that are affected by it. For many years now I believe the political classes have very little regard for those that vote them in. Promise everything to get elected (like the silly labour campaign) and deliver very little.
