I know I’m not the first to do this but with some people going on about ‘blitz spirit’ I thought I’d have a look back at what can learn from our own history when it comes to dealing with the #coronavirus crisis. The first message is obvious. We’ve got to try to slow the spread of the disease as much as we can. This will reduce the pressure on the NHS, allow more time to develop effective treatments, and eventually allow time to develop a vaccine. All of this will save lives.
