A rise in recorded infections in itself is not an issue. Perspective is being lost here.
Those are simply a matter of time. Spain had 239 deaths today. if you’re clinging to Old Boy’s speculation that making a mess of it the first time will benefit us in the long run then you’re both in for a rude awakening.

Tracking and testing has proven insufficient. The Government has lost control of the virus for a second time. The people will be far less forgiving.

The emergency brake is therefore imminent. If only someone could have saw this coming.
