COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Should never have locked down. Should have spent fuck loads on services to the vulnerable and kept everything going. Coming out of lockdown now is worse that going in, in the first place. Numbers are worse and economy trashed.

A trashed NHS a much better option I agree.

Chian starting a new mini lockdwon as cases start increasing again

Rather get the impression that this could escalate quite quickly. :-(

Not locking down would have been idiotic, you'd be looking at a significant increase in the number of cases. The lock down should have taken place earlier.

I keep hearing it should have been earlier. But that is just from scientific point of view.
We could have locked down from day one of hearing about the Virus, but how practical is that?
Some people on here only have one priority (health), so bang the drum from one prospective.

Governments have to take into accounts many other issues, this while information on the disease was thin on the ground.
The biggest problem with any lock down is the actual people.

Lock down too early and they run the risk of people not believing it was that serious, breaking the lock down and never being able to do a second one.
Lock down too late and the hospitals become overwhelmed.

Even the decision to lock down at all is a massively difficult choice. You are basically wrecking the economy for years/decades to come.
This while even scientists around the world cannot agree the best course of action.

The hospitals never became overwhelmed.
They paid many peoples wages to save their jobs/businesses.
Mistakes where made (as expected). But i still maintain a good job has been done.

We have literally done a worse job than anyone else in Europe.

Id we'd locked down earlier, we could have come out of it earlier with less damage - really not hard to understand?

Scotland 0 new deaths and 29 new cases. 870 in hospital (-94) and 3909 released. 18 in ICU (+3).

It is Sunday data remember. So death levels always under reported.

Also for context bear in mind the population of Scotland is about a tenth of England's but England is getting far more than 10 x that many cases a day - as Scotland, Wales & N Ireland added well under 100 of yesterdays new UK case total of 1514.

Indeed Greater Manchester added more than the whole of Scotland yesterday.
