Missing Notes in the Covid Chorus

As I write, the Covid crisis still casts its shadow over everyone of us, with the death rate never far from the daily agenda set by the government and the media.
I know I am taking an enormous risk in writing this article – the risk of being misunderstood, if not misrepresented. Let me say, therefore, and say as plainly as I can, that I do not belittle any death, nor am I commenting on the precautions in place to minimise the number of fatalities from the virus.
