You only have to see Whitty grimacing when Johnson's speaking to realise that the medical experts advice is only taken on board as far as it suits the government![/QUOTE]


Trouble is, individual medical, scientific, business, social, educational, etc, etc, advisors are only concerned with their own field, the government are trying to work out the best plan of action for long term, short term, medium term and for all groups, a near impossible task.

I'm not pretending that they haven't made mistakes, they've made plenty, both obvious ones and ones we may have agreed with at the time. You could compare the government's handling of the crisis with MM's running of Derby County.
