Surely a healthy workforce fit and able to restore the UK economy than lifting safety measures that risk a Coronavirus second wave?

Don't call me Shirley and What's your KNOWLEDGE seeking question? 

 sure -

but the problem is - unless people can go back to work soon the country will be bankrupt before it happens

Its not 2 months since the lockdown started (say 7 weeks cos it started 24th march) and the government has spent over £100 BILLION in that time (thats over 14 BILLION/week)

 Assuming it goes on until the new year THAT would cost the government close to £1TRILLION just to fund combatting the virus

It’s a tricky balance to get right. There’s also the well-being and mental health impact on those isolated at home to factor in too. I agree though. People should come before profit. 

The UK economy is primarily a service based economy which, unless it can still manufacture, re-process and export efficiently, is a loss-making system. Instead of using smoke and mirrors and applying ageist Nazi discriminatory powers, the country needs to retain its place in the the market. Thus it is absolutely vital to the nation's economic well-being to suspend all commercial aspects of leaving the EU and remain in harmony. Only that way will the UK stand a chance of restoring it's service sector.

Yes, that's the sensible option, unfortunately lefties are not too sensible and their push to end lock down early will result in a second wave of Covid-19 and kill many more people with further damage to our economy with another far stricter lock down. 

That's the problem it's not a work force Napoleon said we were a nation of shop keepers and Thatcher made us just that franchises for the middle class zero hr it's not a workforce minimum wage food banks universal credit for the rest , and the high st is being murdered by Amazon and middle class dot com it has to fail it always was leaving Europe wouldn't fix it , now how will we climb out of that throwing labour all its borrowed money and some at it conservative style 

People will soon  go back to work once they stop the furlough pay. They have become lazy sitting at home all day. We need to get the economy back on track. If people ate healthily then their immune systems would be given a boost. I am vegetarian 75, never go to the Doctors, never take their pills, or vaccines and don't need to be under house arrest to protect the fatties.

We've never had a healthy workforce, the amount of folk I've seen guzzling energy drinks to get through the day is ridiculous, there's only one way to get healthy and its getting some nutrients in your diet, there's no need to have this level of lockdown, there's plenty measures we can put in place to slow the spread like mandatory face coverings.
