Quote from The Sun:
Prof Karol Sikora, a leading cancer specialist, warned that thousands more people would die of the disease [cancer] and heart problems if the country was kept locked up.

He is urging ministers to allow small businesses, shops and garden centres to open first, the Telegraph reported.

He said: "As long as we don't see a second wave of the virus then we should plan for full operation by the end of May, including opening schools and even bars and pubs with social distancing."

Prof Sikora added: "I would be aggressive about it. If we don't do that more people will die from cancer and heart disease."
It's a tricky balancing act corona deaths vs other deaths due to the lockdown and subsequent economic crash, particularly suicides as people loose their homes and jobs.
