“A senior Tory source said Johnson “bottled” lockdown during the following week because of concerns about the economy.

The failure to seize the initiative and go into lockdown at that point was a decision that cost many lives.'

By then the DHSC data indicated the rate of positives had been doubling for several days

Altho’ no deaths announced we now know they had occurred
Unthinkable that Johnson did not know that.
