I really dont know what the answer is. I dont think telling people to work from home but go ahead and have your Christmas works gathering is anything other than bonkers though.
But opening and closing on a whim is also not the answer

From a selfish view, I'm of the view mask and sanitise and lift all other restrictions - There will be some poor souls that will die but the alternative is there's going to be generations of kids with no prospects and messed up mental health, while hospitality crumbles.
