Been chatting to a hospital doc friend tonight.
"Just saw a terrified twentysomething with a very high oxygen requirement. ... It’s very scary."
"We are writing off a generation. The text books will have a chapter dedicated to complications of Covid for years to come"

and yes, young people much much less likely to need hospital than older people, but the plan is also to allow more infections than we've ever allowed before.
Out of control infections are causing:
- mass disruption in schools
- disruption to NHS care as staff isolating
- admissions to go up in an NHS that is already overstretched and traumatised
- vulnerable people to fear going out

- higher risk of new variants emerging
- higher impact on more deprived communities
And Javid tells us to expect infections 3x higher than now.

And the govt plan is to stop the isolations instead of their cause.
Won't stop potential of variants. Won't stop admissions or long covid or help vulnerable people scared to go out. Or their friends & families restricting their own lives to protect them.
It's wrong. /END
