Final thought on the COVID modelling for now:

This modelling - which would& #39;ve been evolving for months - has been released basically at the end of its usefulness.

It& #39;s very much a look back at what could& #39;ve been if we had let the virus spread unmitigated or with less control.

In that sense, for the government it serves as a justification for its restrictions.

It doesn& #39;t tell us which controls are most effective, it just tells us that social mixing had to be reduced by a third.

And it doesn& #39;t tell us anything about where we go from here.
