If you are unable to determine why the wrong decision was made, who made it and what their reasoning was, you clearly run the risk of similarly bad decisions continuing to be made.
You can pillory people if you wish, I am more interesting in who made the decisions, when they made them and why they made them. In understanding this, you can learn from the process in time to save lives in the near future.

I’m equally interested in what factors came into consideration, from who and when.
In the last two pages Old Boy has cited the Chancellor being keen to get the economy going next month. I’m sure he is, however if we are using the best scientific advice in a medical emergency then the economy shouldn’t factor into the decision making very strongly, if at all.
Unless of course we accept that as a reasonable balancing act in which case I think the Government should just front up that it finds X deaths as an acceptable figure if we can shorten the inevitable recession by Y months.
