"England started its first of three lockdowns exactly five years ago. The
immediate impacts of lockdown were devastating for many, and the longer term
harmful impacts are becoming increasingly clear and still emerging. Lockdown
was a massive society wide intervention – it is right and proper that its
impacts be studied in detail and lessons learned from its implementation and
extent. But the tenor of reporting and public opinion seems to be that
“lockdowns were terrible and so we must not have lockdowns again”. This is the
wrong lesson. Lockdowns are terrible but so are unchecked deadly pandemics. The
question should be “lockdowns were terrible, so how can we prevent the spread
of a new pandemic so we never need one again?”."
