Foxxster,
BoJo has previously been accused of not taking strong enough measures, now he's accused of over-reacting to a potential escalation event; Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
Noted that you've cherry picked statements from 'Experts', only 3 months ago 2 SAGE models were acknowledged as being grossly over estimated.
By all means ignore everything in the UK - Except the death rate, we're the 6th highest death rate globally and barring a miracle will hit 100k deaths today, the death rate has been increasing, some of it down to Xmas/New year get togethers admittedly but we're at a point where being over-cautious might just save a few lives.
