When schools and uni's opened there seems to have been a huge rise in cases (possibly co-incidental, i don't really know). So the national lockdown then leaves the schools/unis open and closes everything else!!

Or is it the case that there was always going to be a resurgence of the virus during the winter months? In which case i think a national lockdown may do very little apart from damage the economy even further. If this is the case then unfortunately those at risk should be taking their own responsibility for distancing and how they go about protecting themselves.
Home is the most prominent place and apparently when a partner gets Covid only 23% of their other halves do.

We should close homes. Tented villages are the way forward.

Hospitals is another high risk environment. 20% of people in hospital for CV only test positive after 7 days in the place.

We should close hospitals - oh hang on, they largely have.
