Coronavirus may never go away, World Health Organization warns - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52643682

Lockdowns without an end date is what's required along with austerity measures to reflect the huge decline in economic activity that impact on government revenue streams. Ending the triple-lock State Pension guarantee is one idea being floated via a convenient leak to gauge public opinion. Another decade of public sector pay freezing is a racing certainty and that's without factoring in the fallout from the expected COVID-19 second wave this autumn followed by the real possibility of many subsequent ones as the WHO warned.

But whatever privations may be ahead those of us who place the lives of those most vulnerable to COVID-19 above that of the nation's and our personal finances shall endure a greatly reduced standard of living without complaint for we will reap what we helped sow with fortitude.

I am prepared to starve for the cause, and shall hum the Dambusters March until the very end.
