    I think it was always inevitable that the lockdowns and cancelled appointments due to COVID would cause future issues with late and missed diagnosis of other serious illnesses. Unfortunately, I don't think there was much option while we got on top of things, it's debatable whether we needed all the lockdowns, or they needed to go on as long as they did, but I think the initial lockdown was unavoidable. There were a lot of other restrictions that, on reflection, were probably fairly pointless (mask wearing particularly), but things like this are often far more obviously with the benefit of hindsight (I'm aware that plenty of people thought they were pointless at the time).

    The debate around whether face masks contributed to reduction in COVID transmission rates via direct respiration, in non-medical usage, is ongoing.

    What is highly probable though is that the barrier effect of a physical mask reduced contamination via hand to mouth transmission.





    Although boxing gloves would have done a much better job.

    In addition to this, something that's often ignored when talking about the lockdowns is that each time a surge forced us into one, we waited ages and hoped it would go away on its own, which on each occasion just allowed things to get exponentially worse and meant that the eventual lockdowns that did happen ended up needing to be much longer than they could've been if we'd been decisive in the first place.

    Read the article. It’s saying the consequences of lockdowns are killing more people than covid did. This isn’t isn’t about the success of the vaccine

    You might want to read it again, it says nothing of the sort.

    Is this the article? Because it doesn't say that the lockdown consequences are killing more people than Covid ever did, its saying its killing more people now than Covid currently is, which is not a surprise considering A) the vaccine rollout worked in cutting deaths and B) staffing issues at the NHS (political so best not get into the reasons why.) (I don't agree with Julia Hartley-Brewer)

    But the article doesn't say that, only the headline does. The article doesn't say anything concrete that links the lockdown to current excess deaths.

    True, I was referring to the speculation they made it was killing more people. You are right that they even say ‘the ONS doesn’t say why these people died’.

    Guidelines "based on absence of data not a specific finding of concern" .

    That's being cautious, not getting anything 'wrong', though I'm sure you're selective interpretation won't acknowledge that.

    COVID: UK's alert level downgraded from level 3 to 2.

    No idea what that actually means, but presumably it's a good thing.
