I started a new thread on the financial impact of the Covid measures first introduced by the government last year and who will ultimately pay for it when its all over. I didn't want to start yet another Coronavirus thread but actually this topic has not been really discussed at all yet. Also in another thread "will you go for a pint when restrictions are lifted" the discussion moved very much off topic to the area of bond yields . Ultimately the government is borrowing all this money to fill the gap caused by closed businesses and forced unemployment. Obviously the vaccine rollout is well under way now and the end looks to be in sight but I am very concerned at the lack of urgency and the cavalier approach of the authorities to reopening businesses and getting off the borrowed money.
