It comes to something when I find myself, while not exactly entirely agreeing with Boris, definitely seeing where he's coming from. The social and economic impact of Covid, I think we will come to see as time goes by, is going to absolutely dwarf the health impact and the balance has swung HEAVILY in favour of medical advice over socioeconomic advice, because there's a general feeling of "What are you talking about? That stuff doesn't matter right now, we need to save as many lives as possible!".

I fear that, because there's no "test for it", people don't realise just how many lives are going to be lost or ruined in the process.
