Health expert Christina Pagel says the world as it was pre-2020 no longer exists

A health expert has said the world pre-2020 "no longer exists" and there is no going "back" to normal.

Prof. Christina Pagel, director of the Clinical Operational Research Unit at University College London, took to Twitter to share her personal views on where we go from here as restrictions ease further in Wales and across the UK. She said: "I keep being asked when we can go 'back to normal' or 'like it was before'. We've added a new disease to our population, more infectious and more severe than flu. The world pre 2020 no longer exists - we may want it to, but it just doesn't."
