If I didn't screw up the math that would be ~7% of UK's 2020 GDP and around 60% of the GDP loss in 2020 compared to 2019. It would be really expensive but the scale of what's happening is also huge.

So maybe not the greatest value for money in a lifetime as there are plenty of much cheaper things with better returns, but at this scale of cost you're probably right.

Is there something more important than not being under house arrest whilst people die?

Would it have been worth the money? Yes.

Would it have been outrageous pandemic profiteering? Also yes.

Couldn't give a single fuck. Have my money. :waves about:

As an EU citizen, I second this.
