Agreed. And in the section of the 10 year plan on prevention, COVID gets precisely zero mentions. 99-percent.org/scoring-the-...

Also zero mention of Covid when they discuss this graph, despite them noting that the recent sharp increase in people being out of work due to long-term illness will be economically problematic. (That increase has mainly happened since the Covid pandemic began.)

Graph showing the number of working-age people out of work due to long-term illness and on NHS waiting lists (the latter indexed to 100 at its low point in 2009) over time, from 1993 to 2023.

Both curves go up sharply from 2020 onwards. The chart has a two-tone background that seems to emphasize this.

Covid and lockdowns caused a lot more issues than compromised lungs. 😩
