Not as badly as yours, it seems, as there is nothing in that article regarding "extremely small cohort" of long COVID (or at all), and the data was from February, before the Delta Variant struck…
Regarding "common sense", I’m sure you’ll remember last September, Boris said that ‘common sense’ is the ‘single greatest weapon’ against the coronavirus. In October, as cases soared in the second wave, Boris told people to ‘live fearlessly but with common sense,’ dismissing the case for a two-week ‘circuit-breaker’ lockdown - he announced a four-week national lockdown a few weeks later. In late November, he assured us that a regional ‘tier system’ guided by ‘common sense’ would end the need for national lockdowns; in February, during a three-month national lockdown, Johnson said the tier system was no more…
The problem with the Government saying "use common sense and take personal responsibility" is that they can then blame the population when things go wrong…
