  1. Yes, all of this is accurate and thank you for articulating what needs to be recognised. However, what we need to do urgently now, is ask ourselves why this has been done to us. Was it done to save lives? No. Do our leaders know it's not saved lives? Yes. Did they know from the outset that lockdowns do not save lives? Yes. So what is the purpose of locking down a society for such a long time? Lockdown is the perfect tool for restricting trade to the point at which businesses are no longer viable. Neil sees our coming winter as a make or break point - he is right. The theatres, pubs, restaurants and small shops that have been resilient enough to re-open and try to claw their way back; are going to be annihilated by the next round of lockdowns, which we all know are coming and very few people can face talking about. During any such alleviation of lockdown, the vaccine passport will be enforced on places of gathering and I will be in that same boat as Neil: excluded. The money in my pocket which small businesses so desperately need; the services they want to provide, which I really want; will have a barrier put between them. By this horrendous bind, our economy will be pared-down, the workforce made dependent on state aid, and the social experiment can be taken to its next stage. God help us all, because our leaders will most certainly not.
