All of these potential effects were known at the time but nobody cared.
As long as we saved one life at the time, the economy wasn’t important.
Afterall, the economy isn’t lives.
Lockdown had a catastrophic effect on lots of things but who cares about that eh? We saved lots of lives.
Oh wait. No. We didn’t
Anyone who dared to mention the economic consequences were labelled ‘granny killer’ and ‘if it saves just one life it’s all worth it’.
Well, *fuck me sideways and call me sally* if this wasn’t already well known and documented. Another cracking piece of journalism. Well done you! (The Telegraph)
The Telegraph are definitely reporting this because they care about poor people and not at all because they like bashing policies that attempted to help the vulnerable.
