    "You do not survive the illness through fortitude and strength of character, whatever the prime minister’s colleagues will tell us, and the disease is not a great leveller – the consequences of which everyone, rich or poor, suffers the same.

    Those on the frontline right now; bus drivers and shelf-stackers, nurses, care home workers, hospital staff and shopkeepers are disproportionately the lower-paid members of our work force.

    They are more likely to catch the disease because they are more exposed.

    Those who live in tower blocks and small flats will find the lockdown tougher. Those in manual jobs will be unable to work from home.

    This is a health issue with huge ramifications for social welfare, and it’s a welfare issue with huge ramifications for public health."
