"Ongoing health impacts from contracting Covid might be the big health....and economic....cost that very few are talking about right now.
Still to play out of course...and it might not even materialise in a material way.
But is it worth the risk? I don’t think so."

Sure, it might indeed be an issue.
We don't know.

But there are things that affect long-term health about which we definitely do know, viz. junk food, obesity, alcohol, smoking, stress.

Can you say why we shut down the country for something that might cause long-term health impacts, but we don't do anything nearly as dramatic for some things we know for certain do cause long-term health impacts?
