Even with my compromised vision, it’s clear to me that with governments doing less and less in the face of a complex virus, the multiple knock-on effects of this approach are coming at a high human cost. But who’s counting that cost?

For a mainstream article it's not bad.. calls out some issues like the school situation, somewhat calls out the government, but her prescriptions still avoid mentioning masking, 'meaningful policies' as a catch-all is vague.. perhaps on purpose, she's probably aware of the acceptable lib-lines at the paper and is staying within them. She got covid a couple times already and now some vision loss from it so I think she could go further with her critique. Wish there was more about long covid as well. Also I can't quite articulate it but there's an emphasis on the personal story aspect and not much on the possibilities of collective action, as if that lies beyond the imaginable in a rich western country (so in that sense it's gaslighting the reader by hiding the range of options available).
