Things that I think we should review when the threat of this plague is done:

1. Housing standards. Regulation on the size, occupancy and outdoor/green space for dwellings.
2. Cost of living, in particular mortgage size. People shouldn't have to have two people working flat out to pay the rent/mortgage.
3. Local authorities. a. We need them and they are massively understaffed, particularly in the area of social care. We need people doing face to face things like meals on wheels and being home helps.
3. b. Disability social care - for adults and for children. We cannot carry on like this.
4. Working practices and contracts. Self employment should not have to happen because it's cheaper for firms to have people be self-employed rather than employ people properly (see: builders and gym workers - I suspect there are more) - the same goes for zero hours contracts.
5. Education - to start with, a focus on wellbeing rather than exam success (although the two are not mutually exclusive). Wouldn't it be great if we took the opportunity to look again at how we could make our system properly inclusive?
