This article and the scientists comments in it are misleading as they seem to suggest restrictions on pubs, hotels and restaurants only exist at the highest Tier 3 controls. They don’t, many like curfew and table service apply to all across the country dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…
The restrictions on meeting friends and family apply in tier 2 - NE, Yorkshire, London, Essex, Birmingham and Midlands and tier 3 means effective closure for pubs, restaurants and hotels in Liverpool and Greater Manchester. It isn’t just semantics, it matters to millions of jobs
Without more support 25% of businesses think they will be unviable if Tier 1 restrictions apply Dec-March. That rises to 75% in Tier 2 and 94% in Tier 3. Operating under the July-Sept constraints imposed tightest social distancing controls in world but biz just broke even
Vital that in thinking about restrictions we have clear and transparent evidence that they are targeted, proportionate and the most effective at tackling the health harms. And we also need a parrallel economic and social impact assessment
We face losing 1 in 3 of our hospitality businesses for good and that will have devastating impact on a million jobs, high streets and communities across the country. Hospitality can be part of the soln - regulating safe socialising and helping with mass rapid testing
