  Tomayto, tomahto, if Covid had not happened these stores would most likely still be in business.

    If Britain’s leaders had decided not to have lockdowns, they would most likely still be in business as well. The distinction matters, because when evaluating lockdowns it’s important to realize that there are heavy costs.

      Not really. Footfall was way down before the lockdowns started. People saw what was happening in Italy and stayed home.

      Most white collar workers would lock down anyway.
