The cruelty of lockdown
Covid restrictions have blighted so many lives.
Evidence of the harms caused by lockdown is growing. Every day new statistics emerge showing the devastating toll Covid restrictions have had on people’s lives.
Most serious of all are the non-Covid excess deaths. Almost 9,300 more people have died between July and November this year, compared to the same period from 2015-19, from conditions entirely unrelated to coronavirus.
People have also been dying in their own homes in much higher numbers than usual – and these excess deaths are not being driven by Covid, either. According to the Office for National Statistics, deaths in the home have been consistently above the pre-pandemic average every month between January 2020 and June 2021. These are people dying from heart disease, dementia or cancer, potentially alone and in pain. It seems likely that a significant number of these deaths could have been prevented.
