More details
For the first time in history the whole population has been locked down. The government may have postponed the deaths of many vulnerable and elderly vulnerable people in the UK. The cost to the British population has been immense in economic, social, educational, physical and mental health damage. The effects of this policy, not the pandemic itself, will ripple down the years. Alternative strategies, with proper preparation, need to be fully explored and implemented for all future virus crises.
