Of course, my support for lockdown was not rooted in my deep trust of politicians, but in the sad fact that, after a decade of austerity, the UK did not possess the resources to do much but issue a stay home instruction.

Even those of us who had not yet been directly affected began to sense the dramatic change to our daily lives.
Queues outside pharmacies, tense and often heated exchanges in supermarkets and a creeping new sense of social anxiety as people drew a little too close for comfort.
Within days, the most frowned upon thing any of us could do was cough.
The first days and weeks were novel for many of us. For once, the sun appeared at precisely the time we needed it most.
