Public Health

Significant public health improvements were documented during the period of alcohol prohibition in America. Gyms are identified as primary tools for maintaining both physical and mental wellbeing. Alcohol legalization represented a trade-off of public health outcomes for economic considerations. Mental health has deteriorated sharply during lockdown, with suicides reaching all-time highs. The NHS has stopped accepting routine appointments, and a sustained campaign of fear has led people to avoid seeking necessary treatment. No public health messaging has encouraged lifestyle improvements such as diet, exercise, or fitness despite these being tools for maintaining health.
