Let's wait and see. Having a plan for a national lockdown is prudent but as Pierre said some perspective is needed. I think we can see alarm bells ringing but we're not yet at the point of extreme measures being required.

This is actually where the testing screw up is bad since right now is when we need it. If everyone could get a test when they need it and we could flood problem areas with tests then we could accurately judge the scale of the problem. For the testing system to fail just as the cases rise and schools go back is sort of a perfect storm - not that they're entirely unconnected.

I don't want another national lockdown, it would be so damaging to the economy as well. It really needs to be the last resort.
