If accurate this is a bit disturbing.

Coronavirus UK: COVID's long-term damage sending one in three patients back to hospital within five months (theage.com.au)

As I read it, functionally without further interventions it means long term deaths from COVID will double after a sufficient period of time. That is 30% of Long COVID cases returned to hospital within a year, and 1 in 10 of those perished!

Long COVID indeed! :o

Sort of makes a mockery of economic rationalist arguments, the full price of not acting is going to skyrocket, Dan might well be a dictator but he's done us a mighty favour it seems!

Piss on the anti-maskers and COVID deniers at every opportunity, they are killing people.

FMD what has Trump done! :o

one of this issues with this whole argument is that its very all or nothing.

We cannot continue to shut everything down and live a paralysed life, hiding from life because it might hospitalise people.

Sure, take the preventative measures where practical if practical.

Where its not practical, or practicable though the fix seems to be a worse outcome in some cases.  The lady who killed herself and her 3 kids, is just the beginning.
