I agree that should have quarantined people coming into the country earlier, biut I think it has been mentioned particularly now by the airlines.

Boris Johnson’s decision to delay locking down Britain until March 23 — after many other European countries had imposed draconian restrictions — cost “a lot of lives”, according to a senior government scientific adviser.

Isnt hindsight wonderful. 
What do you think the reaction would have been if we had imposed lockdown or quarantine in February ?

Some scientists are worried that the prime minister is now easing the lockdown too early, when daily community infections are still running at more than 5,000 and the reinfection rate — or R number — remains close to 1.

Well it seems a whole bunch of people have decided to test it out for us, and gather in large groups [to protest].

I’m fairly sure there’ll be posts here that said it before we actually entered lockdown.
I can certainly find my own posts as early as 13th March.
Edit : One more dig at the site or team and you will be removed from posting again.

This isn't hindsight, I said it at the time. Thing is, there isn't any particular reason there had to be a complete lock down. If the numbers had been able to be kept low we could have functions with track and trace and maybe some social distancing.
We are an island, we have a natural quarantine barrier.

I doubt very much you got removed for condemning herd immunity.
More like got removed for the way you condemned it.

Indeed, however the fact remains that far from invoking hindsight now posters here and elsewhere were questioning Government policy at the time making the case that lockdown was inevitable. It stands to reason that sooner results in less infections. Countries like New Zealand will now benefit from such a policy in both health and economic terms.
Same with quarantining, or at minimum screening, international arrivals. A policy the Government will now belatedly invoke.

He's going to be good fun at the public inquiry. I like the fact he struggles to look into the camera. A man with inner demons I suspect.

So it is just an opinion to say that an earlier lockdown would have saved lives? What planet are you on?

The excess deaths figures won't lie in the long run.

Re: Coronavirus
The figures on https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashb...23467b48e9ecf6 did not update yesterday. No new cases or deaths or an admin error?
