The timing on when to release information has always been critical in throwing a good story out to the media . .

As the UK introduces fresh restrictions on social contact to curb the spread of coronavirus, controversy continues to rage about whether the government had initially considered trying a very different approach.[/url]
Why is considering a different approach a "controversy".
It would have been remiss of them not to consider all options.
People and companies do that all the time before making a decision.

In the end, it wasnt the option they took, so its irrelevant, just the media trying to turn into something it isnt.

6,178 cases today which is a pretty big leap. Can't have too many days like that or we'll be growing at a faster rate than France/Spain.

This bit was quite interesting

On a per-capita basis, the UK has built the largest and most diversified vaccine portfolio, according to data from Deutsche Bank, having pre-ordered more than five doses per citizen spread across six leading vaccine candidates. The UK is followed closely by the US, Canada and Japan.

BBC Breakfast had a car crash interview with Anneliese Dodds (Labour Shadow Chancellor) Apart from completely destroying the economy with reckless spending to try and save every job, she looked like she'd been dragged through a hedge backwards several times.

Epic makeup fail. :D

Downloaded it, so pleased it's here. Has a very low star rating but I can't see how anyone can judge its performance yet; certainly setting it up took seconds.

The low star rating is because a lot of people downloaded it when it was being tested so they could not sign up so they voted it down because 'it didn't work'. Plus people who just want to slag it off because Government. It's actually pretty decent from what I can see so far.

It's irresponsible to rate it down for those reasons. Everyone with a smart phone should download it. Takes seconds and only requires you to enter the first part of your post code.
