20-35k people wouldn't have died and the lockdown could have been finished up to a month sooner .

Hearing Johnson apologists claim his Government get “the big calls right” would be hilarious if the proof, like this, that they clearly do not wasn’t so tragic (let’s not forget the delays in autumn and Christmas 2020 as well).

It’s a model though

Covid was found to have been in the UK in November, the first death is now confirmed to have been at Christmas, and the first case reported at the time was January, and yet people still think the magic March lockdown stopped an apocalypse, even though the R rate had fallen before the first LD.

:facepalm:

Really, let’s say the first case and first death was when you say, it’s still clear that the virus did not really start taking hold until February/March - you flat earthers are incredible :hehe:

When you look at the way all the world's countries have attempted to handle Covid, all in their own different ways, the only thing you can say without fear of contradiction, is that it doesn't work - anywhere. Shut down early, shut down late- whatever, the results were the same. Trying to say things might have been better if we closed down a week earlier is just ridiculous.

Flat earthers FGS , it’s well known the infections were declining before lockdown, it’s obviously not going to be plastered over the media though is it ….. I’m not a fan of the government however facts are facts …

it was t just hindsight though, we had the unbelievable benefit of seeing it all unfold in Italy a few weeks before us and we didn't take advantage of that information. we basically hoped it would be different here for some reason

Its not hindsight.

Even the presenters at Cheltenham were questioning the meeting got it wrong and there was a huge surge of cases in the area after.

The politicians got it wrong.

I find it amazing that people who lived through the event are now trying to rewrite history.
