Why is nobody thinking about the mental health impact of lockdown and the coronavirus? The mental toll it will take on our key workers. The lack of social interaction and physical touch, the loss of routine, the loss of income.

We, as a society, are facing a second pandemic.

Some of the mental health work I do elsewhere is tracking statistics and reporting them to bodies. We are already seeing a spike in DV cases, in calls made to helplines and an increase in suicides.

We are not even two weeks in.
