Been thinking about this today and my personal opinion is we are seeing Johnson attempting to lead without the strategy of Cummings.
I think he’s backed himself into a corner that he’ll do well to get out of. Surely if we crack on and it goes downhill rapidly and we have a new strain that’s worse or the NHS can’t deal with it and we go into lockdown he’s knackered. If he cancels like Christmas he’s got his own party and those that what restrictions removed on his case calling for his head.
In my completely unguided by the science and non-Oxford educated brain I’d have managed expectations and said we crack on like we are until the current cases plateau (if they would have) and then reevaluated. It’s almost back to normal bar masks in shops and clubs/waiting 20 mins at a bar while someone who holds a 20 gets served in front of you anyway.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out. My respect for our CMO etc. is all but gone after he came out today and said “it could get scary” he had an opportunity to say that a fortnight ago but bottled it. Fauci was far more vociferous when dealing with Trump.
My tinfoil hat on now… I actually woke up today and thought the govt. want the NHS overrun so they can say “it’ll never be able to cope and we need to privatise” but that’s something else entirely.
