Using an example of a recent extreme weather event in the UK to what extent were the economic impacts more important than the social effects?

In fact, the economic effects will cause social effects. If people are poor, there are more criminal and drug abuse. But the social effects can more harmful to economic development. No clean water, no access to education no social glue, no healthcare make the economic development impossible. In the UK, social distancing first, economy later, is the best example that social effects are more important than the economic effects, even only for a month.
