March 26, 2020. Lockdown. One party said we would have done it sooner, 2 weeks later its too long its too much. If your proposals were made then, good as they are,  it would have been laughed out of court. Back then , look at SARS. Covid-19 is SARS 2.0. SARS was harsh but it was gone in no time. Had it been its too much its too long and we let it go, god knows where we would be now, well I guess where many other first world countries are now. Its health vs political. Political you can always vote them out, death you can't. IMHO holding out so we can evaluate has been the best policy. Thats not a political statement its a reality statement.

 

Agreed if they had been suggested right at the beginning, but what about 18 months ago, or 12 moths ago... by that time it was clear Covid wasn't going away.

The current system was good as a plan to keep Covid out. It worked quite well for a long time. But that's not where we are now, it it was inevitable that we would end up here sooner or later and I feel like the Government (like most other Governments) are winging it.
