England's chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty claimed there were 'operational difficulties' that made it difficult to shut the country down in a week.

During a virtual grilling with MPs, Professor Whitty denied there was no 'huge delay' between ministers being advised to implement the draconian measures and actually following through on the actions.

He appeared to contradict his fellow adviser Sir Jeremy Farrar, who told the health select committee moments earlier he 'believed lockdown was enforced too late' and 'should have come earlier', in a sign of a rift between the UK's top experts.
Indeed, and because of the lack of adequate systems in place, he advocated a later lockdown. Whitty also said on the BBC that the public acceptance of the lockdown measures would have eroded at precisely the wrong time if lockdown was introduced too early.
