So yes the grown ups will effect a second lockdown/circuit breaker now & further if required.
I don't think it is a simple as you make out. Throughout Europe the virus is once again out of control with everyone seeming to blame their governments. I have no doubt that whichever party was in power we would be facing the same events as we are now. Would track and trace be any better when too many people refuse to cooperate? Would the Covid App not have lost the details of thousands of people seeing the same people would have worked on the project?
Come last summer, which now seems along time ago, Europe seemed to go back to some sort of semi normal life. Now the whole of Europe is paying the price, as most governments took their eyes off the ball but were they all trying to get their economies moving again when the cases were low?
There are no simple answers even through a few here seem to think so.
