@andyjennings I can't help the feeling that this article focuses on the side-effects of managing a pandemic and not acknowledging the pandemic (the disease) itself. It's a bit like a cancer patient blaming the oncologist for the chemo side effects without acknowledging the cure. Several of my family members have long Covid to the point where they are invalids and can't work. That is how bad the disease can be.

The government's strategy of silence, a pretence to try and return back to a pre 2020 "normal" has brought on what the article has described. Yet I don't see this denial of the physical damage from the actual disease acknowledged in the article. It's blaming the oncologist for the chemo and denying, or not understanding the underlying disease.
