If you know of a way of transmitting the spreadsheets he’s working from directly into people’s brains via FM, please contact the BBC as I’m sure they’ll be delighted to hear about it.
You’re being obtuse, and you know you are. It’s obvious to all but the wilfully blind (and those who can’t get past their hatred of Tories, or Boris, or both, just because they happen to be the ones acting on advice) that the response to this is being led by the advice and research of world leading experts in the field.

I don’t think it is obvious. Do other countries lack access to world leading experts?
The BBC, in an effort to justify this, had someone on to say that we are behaviourally different from other cultures. I’d say that self preservation, reducing risk to the self and loved ones, are fairly universal human traits. E.g. look at Premiership footballers. Yesterday happy for half a million fans to attend games in close proximity to complete strangers of unknown health. Today: no playing any more when we’re the ones at risk.
Interestingly the Chief Medical Officer is on Radio 5 just now confirming there’s only capacity to test 2000 people per day. So we lack the capacity to establish a true figure if, as Boris claims, 10 000 people could already have it.
