Our death rate is 7 times higher than China at the same point highlights the horrible failure we have seen in government policy.

The scary thing is we are stuck with this leader, who has spent his career lumbering from one failure to the next, for 5 years.

If the government didn't believe the Chinese numbers why didn't they make a stronger respond, more akin to Germany or South Korea?

No testing, no PPE, no value for our lives.
South Korea has 5 deaths per day

Germany seems to have peaked at 170

France seems to have peaked at 500

But yeah, focus on "lying China" rather than asking why we have been failed by #BorisTheButcher

I'm not interested in your race to the bottom. We have been failed.

OK, we need to be very very clear about what is going wrong with the policy in the UK. Boris is mortified not genocidal. #boristhebutcher is wide of the mark. 1/17
Secondly, the lack of transparency of the modellers who are advising the government is not deliberate. They are well-meaning individuals who are working very hard to predict the course of the disease and do the right thing. They have published plenty of good science. 2/17
But what happened is that they have as a group fallen into a logical error in their attempts to model what will bring this epidemic under control. They have not appreciated that the answer to this question is adaptive behavior change. 3/17
