Government decisions? Yes. Medical advice at the time? Yes.
What other countries were doing, frankly, is irrelevant.

I’m not being argumentative I’m simply pointing out you are contributing palpable nonsense. Did the Government ignore SAGE advice to lockdown around 11th March? Yes. Did they ignore similar in September? Yes.
You’re quoting one man on Government payroll and giving that greater weight than the scientific advisory groups the Government appointed to give advice. Ministers make decisions based on (or against) that advice at their own discretion.
