Lmaooooo they locked down over 4 cases and applauded their PM.

The Lock down Death Spiral. If you thought austerity was bad... wait until you get the bill for COVID Workers not returning to offices = = Businesses in towns will go under = Towns will die = More jobs lost = Less Tax (local/national) = Greater Government Expense (support)
Ugh. I hate recessions. I've lived through the 80's and nineties and they just suck
