As we enter another period of lockdown it is very evident that the threat of Covid 19 remains as real as it ever was. The rising death toll, after a period of substantial reductions, and a renewal of increased pressure on hospitals, has led the Government to impose this new set of restrictions on the freedoms we all hold so dear and which contribute so much to what we value in our lives.

As we progress through this period of huge disruption to what used to be our normality, many have questioned the methods adopted in an effort to contain the spread and effect of the virus and also the timing of the application of restrictions across the country. Questions remain and arguments continue about the effect of the economic measures that have been introduced in an effort to limit the devastating financial impact on so many who have been furloughed, or lost jobs, or who are struggling to keep businesses afloat. We should all recognise the struggle that so many are facing at this time and reflect on the pain suffered by those who have lost loved ones before their time to this new, cruel and horrible disease.
