Abstract
First paragraph: Who do we not save?
In May 2021, a series of texts and images leaked to the press gave an insight into the behind-the-scenes ‘frenzied planning’ that took place within UK central government in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic (Schraer, 2021). Of particular note was the image of a whiteboard covered in scribbled handwriting from a strategy meeting held on March 13, 2020. The meeting involved the then Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his chief sci-entific and medical advisers as well as government aids and data scientists. Towards the bottom of the board the question had been posed: ‘Who do we not save?’
