On BBC, Dr Susan Hopkins, strategic response director for Covid-19 at PHE, argued we have to live with coronavirus, like influenza. But “We may have to do further lockdowns this winter”. This is not public health strategy. No mention of contact tracing + isolation support.

I am now fully opposed to lockdowns. They only should’ve been done for the “flatten the curve” phase of the pandemic. They are not and should not be used as a permanent strategy. That way lies extreme harm and danger.

No further lockdowns. Those should be resisted, and hard.
