Depends on how you define ‘didn’t work’. It made a huge impact on the rates of infection a death.. reopening carefully has seen a rise again... we have to manage it properly.. not suggesting a full lock down again..

How on earth can leisure centres or gyms be regarded as ‘essential’. Outside you can walk, run, bike, swim, all in relative safety. Anyone who thinks that exercise can only be carried out inside is a little deluded.

They shouldn’t be threatened with closing again. The last lockdown was an unmitigated disaster. It didn’t work and was completely disproportionate to the actual risk.
