Well I'll ask again.
How many of those shielding wanted an end to the shielding.
Especially I add as to others entering their ' safe ' home areas and as to the help and aid put in place to help those shielding.
To those actually in rural areas too.
Now the government is stopping the shielding, that instruction of the home being safest and that aid is halted.
I actually think you'd find, more shielding would prefer that staying in place.
I'd dare bet on it.
Unless you can fire me those significant and many numbers you mention not quantified.
That would show a majority against remaining protectively shielded.
I believe, it wouldn't be a majority.
I just believe, as you overlook it, with the PM saying he is expecting a likely second wave in 2 weeks.
Then it makes no sense to remove the shielding in place, 2 weeks before it.
As you state, it was for 12 weeks to the 16th June..
It was then extended a further 2 weeks to 1st August.
So it has been extended once..
Why not again, especially in light of a possible second wave coming soon after ending said shielding.
I'd rather see shielding for longer than more sick and elderly ending up dead now.
With all the devastating pain that then too brings to their loved ones mourning their loss.
