It’s like only applying your brakes after you’ve hit someone, rather than when you saw them beginning to cross the road.
Epidemiologists - what do they know?

but there was evidence in the Oldham areas that had extra restrictions imposed many weeks ago, that although infection rates were up, hospital admissions and deaths remained low.

Personally, I'd like to see it play out a bit longer.
