One year ago today I was on @loosewomen for the final time before the destruction of life as we knew it began. On that show I said we SHOULD NOT lock down because it won't work, the virus won't go away, and it will never end. No one agreed with me and I was widely criticised.
Now, I won't say 'I told you so' because I wish I had been wrong and the country hadn't lost its collective marbles over a virus with a 99+% survival rate but it did. What scares me most is that it's not over even now and with every day that passes, more freedom is lost, normal
seems like a fantasy, and so much damage has been done by these endless and largely unnecessary restrictions that it seems almost irreparable. And yet, too many people still support more of the same and worse, believing that it's all worth it if it means we 'beat' the virus.
