Comment	Your exactly right. It is not the choice on offer. It's the same choice but exacerbated. It's not only my granny, but yours, and half of this subreddits parents. Young people are still at risk and even though unlikely to die themselves. Still spread it exactly the same. I gather you like a bit of debate from your reply. First you say I might have had an argument is my granny's life not worth 1 job? Second, let's take a step back. We have on one hand a killer virus. Spreading rampant. We have on the other a collapsing economy albeit very slowly and able to be rescued without a doubt. Now. It isn't a choice between one or the other. And choosing either directly affects the other. Let's say we keep things open. The spread will go on and on and the inevitable full lockdown will be x10 longer and ultimately worse for the economy in the long run. Let's say we close things. The spread will cease. There will be damage to the economy but not substantially worse than there is now, and much less than if we allow the virus to gain a foothold again before ultimately having to lockdown. What's the moral reason for keeping the pubs open? People's jobs? The government should be providing more assistance than they are for those affected. And I believe it will be so widespread hardship wise that eventually they'll have to step their game up about 20 notches and really assist people. The potential effects here for remaining open and ludacris. It isn't just pubs and shops. People will relax their stance because they think its all gone away and will simply spread it round again. The reason they are stopping people visitng each other is because it's on the rise again. You can't blame them. It's a safety measure. A relevant one. To not only us here arguing but to every single person in the UK.
