By the way, I am surprised that you find this funny. The scientists were doing their best and so were government ministers in this unprecedented situation. But of course, you are cleverly using your powers of hindsight to vent all your armchair criticisms. You've stolen Sir Kier's clothes.
Tell me, if you had all the answers at the time, and not knowing that we would get vaccines to help us achieve herd immunity, what would your plan have been to release people from lockdown at the end of this incarceration? Where did you think the virus would go, and when?

I find it absolutely hilarious Old Boy. Consistently wrong throughout but deciding that the Government are infallible and it's only the scientists who are to blame.
You're also asking me to hypothesise for a reality that doesn't exist. Which I will not do. There are plenty of countries managing the situation better than we were without vaccines - both in economic terms and public health terms.
