Theres been intense pressure on the government to come up with more financial help, despite concerns about the cost. With new restrictions coming into force to try to limit the spread of coronavirus, Business Leaders and the opposition are demanding more help. Hes phasing in health measures, restrictions which we do support, but at the same time hes phasing out economic support. Health measures and economic measures are now dangerously out of sync.
