Re: Coronavirus
The governments approach is interesting politically. If the UK followed other similar countries with lockdowns, etc. then I don't think most people would blame the government if things did go pear shaped as the approach seems sensible on the face of things. However, the government seems to be going a different way from our peers with this 'soft start' approach to things. If the infection and mortality rates do drop below those of our peers, then that's great news. However, if things get worse than our peers, the government will be seen to be directly to blame for this.
Politically, this seems a bit of a risky gamble. Of course a five year cushion before the next election softens the risk
