What if pubs & restaurants etc had grades of Covid security...
E.g.
Grade 1- distanced tables,
Grade 2- plastic screens between all tables,
Grade 3 *Grade 2* + extractor fan above each table.
So that depending on the infection rate, lock down measures only affected lower grades?

I just feel that helping businesses make those changes might have been a better use of the #EatOutToHelpOut money than literally paying people to increase the infection rate, because it would have protected more businesses long-term...
This would make it so that it's in the financial interest of businesses to make their premises as Covid secure as possible to avoid being hit by future restrictions.
And the #EatOutToHelpOut money would have helped them get there.

I know...2020 hindsight (😎). I only thought of this two weeks ago, but I'm not the Chancellor, the business sec or the health sec.
This is their full-time job.
And because they didn't invest in higher level Covid security, today they're saying restaurants aren't safe after 10pm.

"But what if we'd spent all that money and then developed a vaccine soon after"
1) 6 months ago we weren't expecting a vaccine to even be invented for another 18 months.
2) Covid 19 is not the only virus on Earth.
3) The Precautionary Principle.
