Whilst the Tory media bandwagon playing games with the language are irritating, to be fair this is a global issue and there are (or will be) millions of jobs lost in the aftermath of the pandemic. Without some assurance via a vaccine there can be little hope of an uptick in sales, growth in the hospitality or travel industries, here or abroad.
Johnson has stated that there is a long, long way to go and IMO that is putting it mildly.

All true and agreed measures put in place by the government appear to have been sensible in terms of trying to protect jobs.
Of course they'll undo all that if they insist on pushing through a hard or no deal Brexit just so Boris can keep his promise (made before a worldwide pandemic hit) not to extend the deadline. Let's see what happens there.

Just remember those job losses and the resulting deaths from poverty and lockdown (not Covid) were a decisions taken by government and sponsored by the opposition.
Remember it !!!!!!- I will never forget it as long as I live

If you were brought up anything like my daughter, you would have been able to point to Thatcher and say "Wicked witch of the West".

It's 'just' the economy, right? People can get new jobs, right? Save the NHS, right?

Its called a recession, and we are in one. (a deep chasm of one)
there was at least 6M unemployed under thatcher, probably nearer 8, the uk will sail past that number this time.
under thatcher she turned the uk from a manufacturing nation to a service/hospitality dependant outfit
its gonna be brutal - rising unemployment and a significant reduced tax income, whilst saddled with the greatest national debt in history , king john proportions - all those houses going into negative equity, will be the ruination for many.
but thats capitalism for yer.
