I'm still not clear what societal collapse PC is talking about. There is no doubt that Boris Johnson's refusal to tell the truth about anything, and Liz Truss's utter incompetence, have left the UK economy in a mess, but I don't see rampaging mobs tearing up the HS2 tracks (have any actually been laid yet?) as a direct result of a few weeks' quarantine.

Sir Patrick Vallance said at the beginning of the pandemic "If in the end we ask "what was all the fuss about" we will have got it right." They didn't, but the church clock stood at ten to three and there was honey still for tea this afternoon.
