The article talks about mortality. Just because you don't die from covid doesn't mean you are as healthy as before. You still have to deal with LongCovid and in the case of kids with PIMS[1]. The NHS England is creating [15 paediatric hubs[2] to fight this. Now imagine a lot of kids get long term problems caused by covid. This will hurt the economy in the longterm a lot more than lockdowns and closed schools will.

- TheCycoONE 5y agoJust in case you missed it, the article talked to LongCovid too. They brought up issues with study methodologies, and suggested that actual events were rare.
- switch007 5y agoNB the NHS is not building 15 new buildings for “long covid hubs” in the style of Nightingale hospitals. It sounds like they’re just repurposing some areas of existing hospitals/clinics.
