We have watched with interest how the UK have dealt with this virus and have not been surprised by the result of the ineffective Governments of the four home nations and to a greater extent the population in general and that a second lockdown appear imminent. Why, when trends showed a decline, was everywhere allowed to open again, it was akin to closing the front door to keep the cold out and then using the wood to light a fire to keep warm!

It is so easy to suggest remedy’s, however, there was an strong belief in herd immunity up until a week or so ago. Now scientist believe that the immune system will break down and re-infection can occur, so herd immunity appears a non starter. So what other real options do Governments have? And I think we can discount letting people die.
