Here is my perspective, for what it's worth: For most of the year, the majority of my registered medical and nursing colleagues have, when conversing, been keeping schtum about the current coronavirus fiasco. Unfortunately however, only recently have I been noticing that the minority most susceptible to the prevailing atmosphere of fear feel emboldened to speak out in favour of lockdown culture. The colleagues of mine known to have mathematical qualifications remain religiously silent nevertheless. However, many of my colleagues who are not registered, (ie who don't have a state registration to squander through idle gossip) tend to be openly vociferous in their opposition to lockdown culture and the prevailing coronavirus fiasco. These include porters, cleaners and domestics, habitually and traditionally viewed as an underclass, though quite unfairly; an increasing number thereof are actually victims of the growing problem of graduate underemployment whose often well informed insights into the current fiasco are being routinely ignored. Now however, tension between these factions is growing and I don't fancy being a casualty, so I've told my colleagues that I intend to
join the 'keep schtum' contingent. NB, the matter of graduate underemployment will loom largely after this fiasco is over.
