I can see your reasoning here pete but you must be concerned by the flip flopping. Because as much as anything that’s what’s worried me . Mass gatherings are fine , no they aren’t ; schools are safe , no they aren’t they’re shut for months actually we might open them and herd immunity is the way to go , actually we never mentioned herd immunity .
I’d feel a lot happier if the message or planning was consistent. I’ve no issue with a plan evolving but this certainly doesn’t feel like this .
At least in Ireland we were told the plan from the start
No bull ,no lies
We were told we had not got enough PPE
Told we had not got enough testing capability and it was being ramped up
We have been kept informed at every step
WE even got told what they did not know and what they were making up as they went along
Admitted we messed up on clusters and nursing homes ,but got it right on schools and hospitals
I have no love for our present Government but Varadkar ,Harris (health minister ~) and esp the CMO Tony Holohan have come out of this with great credit
I think if Boris had been as equally honest with the British public I think they would have cut him more slack
