In this issue I visit an amazing art gallery that has bravely stayed open during
lockdown and quiz the owner and consider the hidden aspect of the impacts of lockdowns on mental health. Shot in May 2020, but edited a year later in 2021, I ponder surprising comparisons between Poland and Sweden, a year on...
THE SERIES:
Senior lawyers and the Judiciary have been surprisingly silent on the pandemic, with the notable exception of Lord Sumption (linked below). Yet it seems that at the time key decisions were being taken, there could have been no harm done by taking a clinical look at the evidence, in order to assess the seriousness of the virus:
--Was the decision of the UK government to lock down the country justified and had a proper consideration of the evidence been taken, not only of the seriousness of the virus but of competing factors, such as the long-term economic, civil liberties and long-term health impacts?
--Was the Swedish approach more proportionate?
--Was the Polish response a success?
--Even were lockdowns justified, should they have been lifted more quickly?
In this vlogumentary series, "A Lawyer Investigates: The Mysterious Affair of Covid-19" a British lawyer, while on a visit to Sweden to visit a client, finds himself drawn into a travel adventure and investigation of the Corona Virus controversy. Through interviews with regular folk, on route from his Warsaw office to Stockholm, he attempts to solve the puzzle of its sudden appearance and the world's reaction to it. Is there more of a mystery than we realise?
REVIEWS
"Just sat down with a cup of tea and watched your latest video...,. Really enjoyed it. A lot of the questions I've been asking. Loved the builder at the end!"
"I just watched your series of KZbin videos about current situation and was glad to see 'a cool-headed, clinical view at the evidence'. I am also perplexed how this is possible, this lockdown, all restrictions. I thought UK would be much like Sweden, evidence-based (re)actions."
"You gave many great examples how to interpret the data, especially that the data can't be served in absolute, little telling numbers but in the relative terms."
