Episode 26 - Lockdown 3 - How did we get here?
Description
Following massive increases in covid cases, England went into a third period of Lockdown on Jan 5th 2021, 9 months after the pandemic started in the UK. The awareness of a new-variant of coronavirus has been associated with the drastic increases in infection rates, hospital admissions, positive cases and mortality rates.
How are we coping with continued working at home and childcare arrangements for many; and are we seeing the onset of long-term fatigue and despondency among workers? In this episode Professors Koch & Jackson review what happened in 2020 and how what we may have learned from last year could be applied to future behaviour in dealing with the new-variant coronavirus and the ongoing lockdown. With a mixture of some optimism and trepidation, they look to the ongoing vaccination programme and our need to stay positive.
