[Margaret Pilkington]

Dorothy that is because there is neither sense nor logic in any of it.
The great Barrington debate has the right ideas in my opinion...and it is to shield the vulnerable and protect the younger members of society by getting them back to normal activities.
These lockdowns(and the one we are currently under is much like the very first lockdown) was instigated with maybe 8 hours notice.

We have now had lockdowns in various levels since the 23rd of March last year.....and they have not done very much.
The current situation with the NHS is a 'winter pressures and covid combined' situation.
I worked on a surgicla ward and every year at this time operations were cancelled and beds given over to medical patients with respiratory ailments...COPD, Bronchitis, pneumonia....and our full beds rarely made the news.
