gollark: Phrasing it as "the EVIL CAPITALISTS want us to unlockdown because they only care about the economy" is ridiculous - *we need to produce things* and people will probably become increasingly unhappy/crazy as time spent at home drags on.
gollark: Unfortunately the UK does not appear to *have* a plan, and the government is completely refusing to explain anything it's going to do.
gollark: Locking everything down just effectively puts the whole thing on pause, but at great cost, which makes sense as a way to buy time for launching another strategy.
gollark: <@!330678593904443393> We can hardly be locked down forever, or even much longer.
gollark: No, that is mediocre things.
