Why do you say that the 2nd lockdown over the Dec 20-Jan 21 period was a complete waste of time and money? Here is the graph showing an exponential increase in deaths over that period which, unless controlled would have been much higher. The CMOs of the UK warned central and devolved governments that unless strict lockdown restrictions were introduced then their respective NHS systems would be overwhelmed because as we know, deaths are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the number of covid related admissions for intensive and clinical care.

I guess the further we get away from the event the wiser we become!
