UK Covid death toll

[Tom Joad]

Not advocating anything myself, I'm in no way qualified. Just say we'd locked down a few weeks earlier. No doubt the current death toll would be much less. But doesn't that give rise to the argument we would be relaxing the rules equally earlier and thus exposing us on release? The media spent most of the last two weeks firing the "When will you relax the lockdown" question and I can only imagine it would have been more demanding with people suggesting we had over reacted. With the absence of enough testing equipment, the antibodies test permanently 10 days away and the vaccine not nearly available, would we be looking now at a 2nd wave? Genuine question,BTW.
