I think we need to leave lockdown soon because people simply cannot tolerate it for too much longer. I am concerned that we're still quite high for cases and deaths. France had fewer cases and deaths by the time they opened up, we're starting to fall behind in terms of 'weeks' as well. I.E If we were 'two weeks behind Italy' our deaths should be a lot lower be now.

Agreed. Worryingly, the track and trace doesn't seem to be firing on all cylinders.

Fiona, not her real name, is a semi-retired GP nurse from Yorkshire and is now working as a tier two contact tracer. She was one of a number of tracers who told Sky News there were problems logging on during the launch day.
Fiona was hit by more problems trying to log on at 8am on Thursday morning, with an error message saying she was unable to connect to the site.
Once she had logged in, she found she had no cases assigned to her.

I’ve asked the question multiple times what some would describe as failure in managing Coronavirus to no answer, and simply had insults thrown at me for daring to opine that the Government has managed this badly.

In terms of the Government's handling, it's a mixed bag but the results suggest I'm being generous. In terms of what's worked, the initial messaging was great. The furlow scheme and other support packages have worked well.
But in terms of dithering for three weeks before lockdown, PPE, care homes and Cummingsgate, no.
