Stating the bleeding obvious you obviously can’t catch cancer, sepsis and heart disease from other people whilst that’s exactly how you catch covid
"Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden.
