Several experts who were derided as lockdown obsessives had wanted to avoid lockdowns, had explained how they might be avoided if Test, Trace and Isolate had ever been actually sorted and pointed to places that had. ‘It’ll never work in UK’ they were told.
History cannot be re-written so easily these days as the record of who said what and when is there for all to see online. The ‘all very well in hindsight’ response is easy to disprove. But whether people will bother or just want to move on and prosper again we will have to see.
And worth bearing in mind that Deputy CMO Jenny Harries who was on #marr this morning is the one who said mass testing was inappropriate and that the UK was an international exemplar in preparedness.
