Appreciate that and accept your argument isn’t about political parties, but my point is that cutting from the Times has been circulated around social media today, probably leading to more people to panic and worry, believing this guy is in charge. He’s not. In addition, even the author of the article has tweeted to say it’s out of context and as detailed above Cummings was the ‘most zealous advocate of lockdown for the last 10 days’ - which would be in line with your/others thinking ?
To be honest my bone of contention all along was that we seemed to be ignoring all medical approaches in preference of a scientific one, so this is not some new social media thing that’s spooked me- it was always what I hated about it.
It took 3 months to get to 100,000 cases
It took another 12 days to get to 200,000 cases
It’s taken
3 days to get to 300,000 cases
Whatever metric you want to look at, wherever else you look, you have to come to the stark conclusion that herd immunity with no vaccine & no lockdown whatsoever was a catastrophic, irresponsible & fatal error.
Not really too concerned about which one of them made that error or if it was groupthink or whatever happened, it’s not a personal witch hunt, but this might end up being the biggest & most dangerous error made by the U.K. for decades, and I just hope that nobody forgets what these people were doing as this virus was spreading throughout the country.
