This was always a QALY negative treatment.
One might even conclude the reason it happened is governments seeking power (lockdowns, propaganda and censorship, travel restrictions, etc) rather than genuine public health.
- heurisko 4y agoI think the government and the media had a negative feedback loop. I've noticed the media prefers to saturate news with one topic. For years it was brexit, then that stopped completely and it was Covid, then Ukraine, now energy price rises. The Conservative government originally were keen on personal responsibility. But once the headlines started of older people in carehomes dying, there was no hope of doing nothing any more. Lockdowns were the "something that has to be done".
