Yes it does - very skilful overview of a number of relevant issues. Well done, Alice Thompson.

Thanks for sharing - great article. Sorry to be pedantic but her surname is Thomson.

Completely agree. Women come out worse yet again and we’ll be the ones who continue to suffer

Brilliant article although it's left me a bit aghast at what's happened to the balance of power in this country

It’s a great article - thank you for sharing

Related to similar issues - it's sobering to run a search on 'women' within this document and read the impacts so far : Rapid Review of Covid and its direct and indirect impacts on health and wellbeing

As ever, poverty, low status work and the usual social determinants of health have a strong association with worse outcomes and impacts.
