THERE seems to be a growing mood in public and media to the effect that lockdown has now gone on too long and is probably doing more harm than good. I wholly agree.

I have been grateful for the restrained response of this government towards the coronavirus outbreak but the new proposal to lock down every single person over the age of 70 for three months, regardless of health and strength, seems woefully lacking in logic.

I'M QUITE enjoying this lockdown but I know just how blessed I am. I actively like solitude. I have the moors on my doorstep, a large garden, a job which I can do from home, a dependable pension, good health and a keyworker neighbour who can drop off fresh milk, bread and veg.

BY AND large I resist the temptation to roar at my TV screen but a few days ago, I did just that, when the tearful sister of twins who had died from the virus commented that she could not even be with her parents. Why the hell not? I shouted, feeling close to tears myself.

AT LAST there appears to be some momentum gathering behind what I have been saying for weeks: that it is wrong to lock down people on the grounds of age alone.
