There is no easy way out of the present Covid-19 crisis. This is not just about physical health. It is also psychological health. But the situation is much more complex than that. There is no guarantee that after the national lockdown starting on October 4th until December 2nd 2020 the country will be any better healthwise.
As the economy sinks to new depths, Britain is on the brink of total collapse and political tensions are rising. There is no magic recipe to get Britain out of this mess. When we think about terrorism, we think about weapons and explosives, but a biological attack is deadlier than any other means of aggression. Nobody could foresee that a viral infection that started in Wuhan, in China, thousands of miles away could cause what Covid-19 is causing right now.
During the Blitz, Britain lost 32,000 civilians and more than 80,000 civilians were seriously injured. This has the potential to be much worse than the Blitz. All traces of normality are disappearing.
