Totally disagree for six weeks your basically wiping out the whole of November where people start spending in the shops for Christmas you'd kill the already very fragile High street.For me Ireland has done the tight thing, lockdown for six weeks so that Christmas can be a boom time for business and families
I would prefer what they are doing in Wales, a 17-day short sharp shock than what is happening with tier 3.

Not really a lockdown here the majority of our retail is open. I'm in the shoe industry and we are only staying open cus we sell steel toe cap bootsFor me Ireland has done the tight thing, lockdown for six weeks so that Christmas can be a boom time for business and families
Leeds numbers have declined from around 580 a couple of weeks ago to around 370. Other cities are showing similar including areas of Merseyside.I think you over-estimate the likely effectiveness of these short lockdowns.
There is some tentative evidence that the outbreak is starting to level off, at least in England, the case numbers aren't leading to anything like the number of hospitalisations or deaths we saw in March/April.
A national lockdown at this stage would appear to be both premature and an over-reaction.
I was talking about the economic effects of Tier 3 versus a short lockdown. As far as effectiveness against the virus goes I don't pretend to know enough about disease control to know what will and won't work. I just know that they are both untested at the moment.I think you over-estimate the likely effectiveness of these short lockdowns.
