No one is an expert Hedda; this is part of the problem I think. I posted a link the other day from an epidimologist/scientist from Canada who has changed his mind about lockdown because he has completed a cost/benefit analysis and calculates lockdown causes 10 times as much death and misery as the virus itself. He writes that one of the reasons he changed his minds is that he was thinking at the start just as a scientist and what can be done to prevent spread? This is how most people think still. When he thought and analysed from a broader public health policy viewpoint he changed his mind. There are experts in diseases but no one in the world is a "lockdown expert". Some countriesare (Japan) and we need to learn from them. If we carry on like this I believe there will come a point when everyone sees that continued lockdowns (short sharp ones at the right time are different) are far worse for everyone than the virus. It is inevitable as this is literally killing our world. I feel for you with the travel. It is cruel that you are restricted in how you live your life. It is also patronising. People should be given the facts and allowed to make their own minds up about the risk to themselves. As well as house-bound; we have become infantilised.

hedda	of course WYOT I'm a total amateur in this entire pandemic saga (yes yes I know..who would have thought it ) I can only speak from personal experience and can't really speak about the rest of the world. It is now driving me crazy. I would desperately like to travel and Thailand or Bali is always such an easy escape. Bali is completely shut down..can't imagine how the locals are surviving and there are no direct flights to Bangkok..one airline offering a ticket for $10,000 which would normally be $900 return. It's a nightmare.
