I think the societal response to this implies that after 3 years of adapted behavior to limit risk of excess death, people are kind of done.
There better be at least a decade until the next pandemic, at this point even the black death wouldnt convince people to go back into lock down.
- truculent 4y agoHave you read the article? "The difference in 2022 - compared with 2020 and 2021 - is that Covid deaths were one of several factors, rather than the main explanation for this excess" One of the other factors is the crisis in the NHS: "At the start of 2022, death rates were looking like they'd returned to pre-pandemic levels. It wasn't until June that excess deaths really started to rise - just as the number of people waiting for hours on trolleys in English hospitals hit levels normally seen in winter." So, I don't think people's propensity to go into lockdown is particularly relevant here.
