LOCKDOWN ESCAPE ย With the lockdown to stem the contagion now set to last at least six weeks, ministers are desperate to find a safe escape route because of the economic disaster it is inflicting. ย In their report, being circulated across Whitehall, Lord Gadhia and Sir Jonathan argue: โ€œThe initial focus for reopening the economy should be on sectors that have the greatest multiplier effects with minimum risks – such as coffee shops and restaurants which support agriculture. ย โ€œThe property market is another that has wide multiplier effects. ย โ€œWe need to avoid a stop-start economy which would sap public morale and damage business confidence yet further.โ€ ย Releasing younger generation back into the economy and re-opening schools should also be prioritised, they argue. ย Italy and Spain have already started lifting some restrictions, and German leader Angela Merkel held talks today with regional leaders to start laying out a timetable. ย Pensioners may only be allowed out to shop for one hour a day when the lockdown ends to limit their exposure to coronavirus, a World Health Organisation advisor has said. ย Prof David Heymann, an infectious diseases expert at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, also said younger people would also continue to have to stay away from them. ย The Government again refused to spell out its thinking on how the lockdown will one day end. EXIT STRATEGY ย Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer demanded it publish an exit strategy by the end of the week. ย Insisting โ€œdecisions need to be taken nowโ€ to pla
