THE Tory government has left behind all pretence that public health policy matters, or even that the health and wellbeing of the population matters. They have made it clear that they expect their policies will lead to a huge increase in new Covid-19 cases, that hospitalisations and deaths will also rise. But they will press ahead with reopening regardless.
This policy is based on a completely reactionary ideology combined with a conception of the economy that is riddled with errors.
The ideology is a false Darwinian concept of the survival of the fittest. Of course, it has nothing in common with the great scientist who actually demonstrated the survivability of the most adaptable species, and was at pains to show how that adaptability was frequently performed through the species, the group, flock or herd, not by individualism.
