This comment from an anonymous FT reader offers a succinct and simplifying framework for how to think about C-19 and the government& #39;s response to it.

Not usually keen on quoting anons but as this person isn& #39;t claiming to know anything special or offering any new information, I think it& #39;s OK.

The obsessing over the government& #39;s decisions to date
- understandable even if much of it is driven by antipathy to the incumbent - obscures the fact that most democracies are dealing with this in the same way, with some variations as you& #39;d expect.

And to all the non-experts quoting national death rates to make their arguments, is it too much to ask that you wait 6 months or so before drawing conclusions?

Clarifying and nuanced, as per https://twitter.com/Samfr/status/1249290510365265921">https://twitter.com/Samfr/sta...
