Well maybe you should've thought of that before, when you decided it was good for "the economy" to manufacture denial about a highly infectious disabling illness!

("You" in this context being politicians, media, billionaires etc)

#covid #denial #economics #EatOutToHelpTheVirusOut

Screenshot from a BBC news article.  

The headline is "Britain sliding 'into economic crisis' over 拢85bn sickness bill, ex-John Lewis boss warns".

At the bottom of the page, highlighted in the screenshot, is the result of a "find in page" search, showing that the word "covid" is not found on the page.

The page also has a photo of an ill woman lying on a sofa, and some more text:  "The report said that a 22-year-old who falls out of work for health reasons could lose out on 拢1m over the course of their lifetime."

The author of the article is "Emer Moreau, Business reporter".

I feel that my snarky song about the government deserves to be re-upped in the light of the above news article:

"Landlords' money took a sizeable dent
So back to the office for the office rent
It's the favour of your backers at stake
Our health is a sacrifice you're happy to make"
