We should never ever have had a pandemic preparedness team that did not consider the indirect and long-term effects.
We focussed on the direct effects of excess deaths from covid,
but from the beginning it’s likely the indirect effects will lead to more deaths,
and more morbidity and more economic impacts than Covid deaths itself
What I see is still a focus on the direct effects of Covid
Nobody who is in charge of the NHS, or any of the new health secretaries, are making any noises about it
