And at the start of 2020, we had been through 10 years of Tory ideological austerity following the 2008 financial crash. The NHS was stretched and fragmented, its lines of authority and responsibility tangled by years of Tory regulatory tinkering. Social care privatized and what was left commissioned out, but all seriously underfunded because of the constant Tory promise of low tax and more money in our pockets.

Edit; Aged Care residents getting the worst of it...it would seem that the way Aged Care Homes are set up does not help matters...alegedlly.

Little light in all the discussion about economic impact. If we’d shut down 10 days earlier as many said at the time we should, we’d have come out of lockdown 10 days earlier with signficantly fewer cases so would have been able to open up quicker.
If we’d introduced a more effective track and trace and compelled masks months ago we’d have been able to open up quicker.
The impact on the economy would have been much lower

Days of lockdown and no work a distant memory.
I hate grafting in this heat - just want to have a wank and nap

Apart from going abroad, having to wear a mask in shops and not being able to stand at the bar anymore, life has gone back to pretty much the way it was before.
Plus my missus has gone back to work, which is always a cause for celebration lol
I got one last massive night out in, just before lockdown, at Printworks in London. Thousands of people having a boss time on the happy pills.
I will forever be grateful I went then, rather than in May like originally planned.
Only thing I miss is going to the match and going clubbing.
I think you're probably right. But unfortunately there's no way of ever knowing, or being able to prove we'd be far better off if we locked down earlier. France locked down earlier and is having a surge in cases right now. Australia is also having a bit of surge in cases too. I'm not sure it's as simple as saying everything would be fine if we locked down quicker.
Airports is the one I still do not understand. Why did we not test people coming in from hotspots, or stop arrivals?

None of it has logic man.
Masks being vital now but not 4 months ago has no logic.
Not testing people in airports has no logic.
Closing pubs for schools to open has no logic.
The ones who set the rules breaking the rules has no logic.
You can keep going on and on with that list.
The difference is applying logic doesn't make it good logic. You can make anything make sense but it doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea.

My missus is working from home again ever since my county went back into lockdown. Yay.
