IMO, if lockdown had been ordered day 1, there would have been mass protests and disobedience. Instead it's been recommended to stay home - as people have then abused it, it's been "locked down". I suspect most Brits will accept that given the "nice" approach being abused. Some will always disobey.
That does make sense. But surely if the government had acted a month earlier we may not have needed such tight restrictions?

It isn't just a british problem, a lot of european countries also didn't think it was that much of an issue until people started dying.
