The Government appear to be responding to political pressure to lift the lockdown, but there is very little evidence that this is what the public as a whole want them to do. We want the Government to keep us safe and that implies a high degree of caution about lifting measures that might increase the reproduction rate of the virus and could cause a second outbreak and hence more death and suffering.
