A damning analysis of how the Government has fcuked this up.
I think it's still too early to make a definitive judgement on the way the government has handled this. Looking at other countries, if we can keep the daily fatalities at or close to double figures as the peak, they have done a decent job. If in the coming weeks the death rate rises to similar numbers as Italy and Spain, they have failed big time. I hope I'm wrong, but I think the big mistake so far was 'advising' rather than 'enforcing'. Even if 90% of people take the advice on board, it still leaves millions who don't. My concern is that the actions we are now taking are a couple of weeks behind when they should have been taken.
