Is a second national lockdown for vulnerable over 50s the right way forward?We can’t stay in lockdown indefinitely. The damage done to the economy will have to be paid for. Poverty is increasing and will lead to more deaths. Other health issues not being dealt with because the medical profession is focussing on COVID-19 means more unnecessary deaths and people suffering unnecessarily with treatable conditions. Domestic violence is on the increase, people’s mental health is suffering, children’s education is being affected. The original intention was to “flatten the curve” to prevent the NHS being overwhelmed. We seem to have moved from that to “prevent anyone getting infected”, and that is unrealistic.
