the main difference would have been that we& #39;d have paid people to stay home if they were sick and maybe something like nationalised care homes? these would have been the most useful & unambiguously correct things we could have done https://twitter.com/AaronBastani/status/1283084716984467456">https://twitter.com/AaronBast...

lockdown earlier and save 20,000 deaths is a total fantasy IMO & represents nothing more than believing lines put about by people covering their own arse

I also think more than this that we have lots of examples now where an early lockdown has been followed by all the cases that would have happened in the first place once restrictions are lifted. https://twitter.com/francisqcoyle/status/1283320296284487680">https://twitter.com/francisqc...

there were lots of other things we didn& #39;t do / were slow to do such as telling people it was fine to go out if they were sick until March the fucking 12th https://twitter.com/francisqcoyle/status/1283321425030504458">https://twitter.com/francisqc...

further to the "military coup" thing - well maybe, but at the very least the exact rhetorical positions that have been popularly put about regarding this would have been reversed and would have been no more right than they are here
