We fucked about for too long initially in my opinion. If we locked down earlier, especially given the bad news coming from Italy and Spain and also done it properly then it would have been better.
But hindsight is a wonderful thing of course. The Gov were worried about the economy but inaction early on I think has exacerbated the economic impact over the longer term.
Look to the east, they have had plenty previous experience, no fucking about with lockdown and out the other side quicker and with less economic impact overall.
Please don't anyone talk about fucking Sweden, they are not comparable and are struggling also anyway now.
