Mike's Daily Comment
Judging by our politicians penchant for using the pandemic as an excuse to jump on their familiar policy hobby horses – the answer is “not.” And that will hurt us all.
“The response to Covid-19 in the UK, the US and other countries was shaped by the dramatic headlines in mid-March, suggesting 550,000 deaths in the UK and 2.2 million in the US. Faced with widely publicised, alarming figures, as demonstrated by Imperial College’s Professor Neil Ferguson, governments were forced to react with the unprecedented lockdown to suppress Covid-19. No one looked at his ten years of predictions that were wrong.”
– Oonagh McDonald, The Times,
