Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[tell it like it is]

So you believe that just by comparing populations we can conclude that locking down when the UK had only 8 deaths would have made no difference?

And do you believe people would have obeyed with just 8 deaths? There are many factors at play, it's overly simplistic and naive to say "ooooh we should've locked down at point X".

I'm sorry I don't understand all of this like you do. The question of timing interventions has been a constant discussion point so wondering whether whether we chose the optimal time to minimise deaths is a reasonable question I think. Just insisting we wouldn't have obeyed isn't really a conclusive answer.

I think a sizeable number wouldn't have, more than now. Some need things to hit close to home to grasp that at times.

Recommendations changed to "you must" was a reasonable way of approaching things because it showed the effects of people ignoring...

OK, if everybody or most obeyed do you think it would have made a difference if we were told to stay at home a couple of weeks earlier?

I doubt it tbh. I think it would have pushed the problem further down the year, worst case scenario this occurring in Winter.
