Lockdown existed for one purpose, to prevent the critical care services of the NHS being overwhelmed by critically ill patients, and to that end it has succeeded.
It was not designed to prevent the loss of life.
The nonsense spun about a natural "R" rate of three, would have meant the numbers of people infected prior to the beginning of the lockdown would have meant the virus was endemic in our population prior to the end of March.
So the greatest danger we now face is one where huge swathes of the population are petrified to do simple day to day tasks, this could have been avoided quite easily.
I don't think so much curate's egg, as dog egg, this situation has been mishandled from the very beginning, the only question now is how best to dig ourselves from this mire of deceit we are currently being swamped with.
