1/. The govt should stop blaming the public for an inadequate lockdown
Evidence suggests 80-90% of people are obeying lockdown rules
But an effective lockdown requires proper financial & practical support & clear messaging.

2/. Whilst adherence & enforcement of lockdown rules is vital, the rules need to be clear & adequate support is essential.
I’m not against fining Covidiots who knowingly breach #COVID19 guidance but can we ALSO punish govt ministers who knowingly & repeatedly ignore the science?

4/. Boris Johnson says he “stuck to the science like glue”
This simply isn’t true
Even the govt claims that they were “guided by the science” are inaccurate in a lot of cases

5/. The UK was given the greatest gift any nation could have hoped for in the circumstances: a two-month head start
Yet when #COVID19 hit, the UK was not only woefully unprepared, we were exporting tests to Bahrain when NHS frontline workers were unable to get tested.
