Re: Coronavirus
I have a more sympathy for the Government on judging the right balance between restrictions on people's liberties and fighting the spread of the virus and with the timing of those changes. It's a tricky balance to get right and you don't have precise evidence on the impact of any particular change. Their epidemiologists likely give them a good estimate but they then need to judge that against the economy and people's every day lives.
As I said before we're seeing the biggest restrictions on citizens' freedoms since the war. The Government are right to use that power with caution.
