Particularly depressing since we’ve already gone through the “should we , shouldn’t we” part once before and so should have put in place much better trigger mechanisms.

They haven't got the staff to have them fully functional for poorly people with respiratory problems. Not only COVID this time but people with flu and other respiratory viruses and illness's...
Of course lockdown works.
Thats a silly thing to say, we literally have evidence of it working this year.
But that delay is critical to ensure hospitals don’t get overwhelmed.
PARIS, Oct 30 (Reuters) - France on Friday reported 49,215 new confirmed coronavirus cases over the past 24 hours, compared to 47,637 on Thursday and a record high of 52,010 on Sunday.
A new national lockdown came into effect on Friday in France in an effort to put the brakes on a COVID-19 epidemic that officials say risks spiralling out of control.
The number of people in France who have died from COVID-19 rose by 256 over 24 hours to 36,565, the health ministry said. The cumulative number of cases now stands at 1,331,984.
New hospitalisations over the last seven days reached 16,258 against 15,786 on Thursday. This included 2,401 people in intensive care units against 2,278 on Thursday.
President Emmanuel Macron said late on Wednesday that France might start to ease back lockdown measures once COVID infections fell back to about 5,000 per day.
This is our future.

Release Operation Moonshot, or when we beat the world in at least one thing.
Yes it works as a delaying tool, but the virus then comes back.
And people affected will be left in a tough position by another lockdown. They will need to be allowed to then go back to work.
How do we balance all these things? I have no idea....
People who can't work need to be helped by the government. But how do we help those in need, through the welfare system. But tax receipts will dry up with mass unemployment and then we have big problems. It all worries me.
S Korea’s track and trace system plus widespread masking and social distancing would have been my preference.
But between government incompetence and Western populations generally being less compliant with even comparatively mild restrictions then the heavier ones seem to sadly be our only option to avoid overwhelmed medical systems.
This lockdown wont even work, nobody will comply, its just going to be an utter farce.
Its what happens with weak leadership.
Starve kids, then try and lockdown the country, good luck with that Boris you piss-stained tramp.
Where is that from?
