Make no mistake. It is their decision. Their message. However they might try and spin bad consequences down the line.
“If we take the prime minister’s advice and return to work in large numbers now – and without the ability to test, trace and isolate – then virus spread will increase, there will be super-spreader events and local or regional lockdowns will have to be reconsidered. “
