The alternative (and not my view) is that you carry on as normal knowing that you’re going to kill of a large number of eldsters and people with underlying health conditions who either already are, are or will be, a burden on the state for years to come. Saving loads more than £350 million a week for the NHS and claiming a huge success in reduced waiting times a year from now for routine operations. Slashing the cost to the taxpayer of the state pension and making free TV licences for the few remaining over 75s quite affordable. Could also free up quite a bit of housing stock taking the pressure off the green belt for a few years. Shame HS2 hasn’t been built yet so you can shave 30 minutes off getting it around the country a bit.
Again, not my view, just proposing an alternative.
