What Whitty’s public statements on early/later lockdown were made are irrelevant. He’s not going to go out and publicly say something against Government policy. By that point the decisions have been made and lines agreed, unless he fancies resigning.
Pointing to discredited WHO advice is a red herring and by mid-March many other countries were going against it.

Same old argumentative jfman.
It is a fact that Whitty said that, and if you remember, the government has always said that they were following scientific advice.
The WHO advice may have been discredited subsequently (if you say so) but the fact is, that’s the medical advice that was there.
Government decisions? Yes. Medical advice at the time? Yes.
What other countries were doing, frankly, is irrelevant.
