You are not understanding my point.
I gave an example of what political decisions have been taken by the UK and compared them with France.
I'm not saying they are right or wrong.
However, they are political decisions and the government of every democratic society is going to be judged on the way they respond to this pandemic.
We should not abandon the right to question our leaders, just because of this crisis. They should be questionned and they should be held accountable. That is part of the process, which will help them to make the best decisions.
The government performed a major u-turn yesterday, as their own projections predicted 260,000 deaths and hospital beds being overwhelmed 8 to 1, if they hadn't taken the steps they did yesterday.
