Putting patients back into care homes without testing. That had an impact. The reality is the government made mistakes it was inevitable. My biggest gripe was the slow reaction of what was done. Nobody is saying the government killed tens of thousands of people but many were killed due to ignorance. No doubt if we started today our reaction to the pandemic would be different and the death toll would be less.If "they" had done nothing the death toll would be at least double or even triple.
What was done was done and didn`t contribute to the toll.
People quoting "eat out to help out" and Christmas were not instructions, they were options when there were few others.
What may have contributed was what was not done and, in the fullness of time, will be revealed.
What contributed massively was relying on people`s common sense and trusting us to do the right thing. The compliance stat`s will make interesting reading.
BJs we will beat this by Easter was right he just got which Easter wrong.
