I see you've at least dropped that ludicrous tagline from beneath your user name.
The fact other governments could have made better decisions is neither here nor there to your original claim that I debunked - as I say it's a matter of public record - that they ignored SAGE advice on both lockdowns and this had a catastrophic impact modelled as tens of thousands of deaths. |
So SAGE become the Government. What a stupid uninformed point of view.
The Government have to take in advice from many areas, attempt to weigh the pro's and con's and proceed accordingly.
Don't forget the SAGE advice was based on modelling since shown inept at best.
The current models for unlocking are not based on seasonal changes or actual vaccine take up so how can they be trusted?
Cases reducing, hospitalisation reducing, deaths reducing P-leasssse.
It has still yet to be proven that lockdowns actually work, they may in the short term to reduce pressure on hospitals but do they work overall?
Many people look to the far east to prove the effectivence of lockdowns/mask wearing without factoring in societal differences.
New Zealand is often brought up as an example but far easier to control the spread than any other 1st world country.
As Society is responsible for everything it does for and on behalf of itself why should any Government need to legislate what that society does?
