This is my big concern about the Scottish/UK/World response to Covid. We've panicked and decided to ignore everything else whether it be other health conditions or the economy.
In the short-term, ill people are being neglected, because the NHS is, as a matter of policy, totally de-prioritising all other conditions, and it's killing people, quite possibly more than the virus. In the longer term GDP will drop and that is very closely correlated with life expectancy.
That's why I don't join in with the clapping on a Thursday evening. But I'll raise a glass to your bolshie paramedic!
