Do we rename her Gladys Burythemall?
Some will call louder than ever for closed borders, but it's probably too little too late, and it looks like permits for work invalidate that effort anyway. The solution was possibly a swift and decisive lockdown, but that opportunity is lost.
Death from Sars-CoV-2 as horrendous and unfortunate that it may be, it is not the real long term cost of this pandemic, and the authorities seem to give little regard to personal or societal cost of surviving with debilitating long term effects.
New studies starting to surface expose long term issues include thrombotic patina(clots in fine capillaries), neurotoxic and cognitive effects and also long term hypoxia(silent hypoxia). One recent study exposed almost 10% of asymptomatic Sars-CoV-2 cases showed signs of reduced grey matter, a sign of asymptomatic hypoxia (silent hypoxia). They don't know yet what will happen to these people long term, it's a bit grim!
There are estimates that in the UK between 3% to 8% of all infection cases, symptomatic or asymptomatic, may eventually leave the workforce and never return to work. The cost is likely to be horrendous and the impact of that on things like national disability schemes will be devastating.
