I've never said South Korea got everything perfect.

I've been consistent throughout this thread since before lockdown. We needed to at minimum screen at airports, a lockdown was inevitable (even as others said it'd be too costly) and we need to identify where cases are. This is as true today as it was in March.

Others in the thread have moved the goalposts I can confidently say 100% I haven't and that I've never let who I voted for, or how I voted in in the Brexit referendum, influence my stance. The best health outcome, based on best practice. Health and economics are one and the same now.

In any other field, if it had nothing to do with politics, we would all look to see who performed better and how to emulate it. Equally what could have gone better should the same series of events happen again. None of that would be particularly exceptional in any other field.
