[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 992566, member: 72977"] If (and I mean if) this is true then I'm even more ****** off with our government's strategy as they took the riskier option based supposedly on the science and it turns out the advisors weren't in agreement at all and they tossed a coin (or went with the least economically damaging one). It also shows that they are playing at politics and spin instead of just focusing on doing a job because apparently implementing these measures has all been part of the plan and they are doing the right thing at the right time. However, if this is true then clearly they made a mistake and the delay will cost lives. I understand the argument that if they admit mistakes they lose public confidence and trust, but they will lose that anyway if we end up in a similar position to Italy and will be criticised far more as they had access to more information from other countries. Far too many people still aren't taking this seriously enough and based on this the government has to accept some of the blame. I'm not sure what will happen next because unless the British public starts following the government's instructions from now, they will have to enforce a lockdown and that brings further problems.
