\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0There are few parts of the economy that have been as badly affected by Covid-19\u00a0than\u00a0nightlife\u00a0\u2013 or to be more accurate, the response to the\u00a0coronavirus,\u00a0rather than the disease itself.\u00a0Nightclubs have been forced to close since March and face even more months of closure. The ratcheting up of restrictions, and the accompanying fines, for anyone trying to organize alternative events like raves, have killed off any ingenious attempts to meet the intense demand and desire to congregate and have fun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0There are two ways that a government can kill off an industry; passivity or effort. Leaving a sector to quietly dwindle in the face of an emerging threat to its viability is the passive approach. The problem with that is your goal of extinction can rumble on for years. Far better to put some effort into the execution, pulling all the policy levers at your disposal. Make no mistake this government is attending to the night-time economy, but not in a way that anyone involved wants.<\/p>
