I am in my early 30s. In my close friendship group, I count at least 3 people in serious depressions because of lockdown. These are young, dynamic people with plans and hopes and lives ahead of them, now staring at the wall

So when we talk of protecting the vulnerable, it’s those at the beginning of their lives - for whom there is often the least help - who I’m also thinking of.
