It’s clear ministers were only offered two extreme options - suppression (lockdowns) or mitigation (let the virus spread but protect the vulnerable). The East Asian middle way (close borders, hi tech test &trace) wasn’t modeled by SAGE until April when we were well into lockdown — PolitiTweet.org

Personal accusations are of course the most media-friendly but should not expose the much more serious failures in the functioning of the state in a national emergency, including key revelations about both scientific advice/herd immunity and test and trace. — PolitiTweet.org

Given that most East Asian countries had fewer lockdowns (in Korea's case no lockdowns) this was a serious failing in our structures, perhaps caused by a 'pandemic flu' mindset although to the credit of our scientists this did not extend to vaccine R & D. — PolitiTweet.org
