Whilst it is not good the first respond is to isolate is right. In fact by not doing it earlier and let the wu han people running cause the outbreak of the world (and I am not talking about the origin of virus but how the first wave started). And the first wave is not as tame as the current one.

Over time the virus tame and solution appeared hence measure should be relaxed.

If you just let it goes as Boris would want it would have killed a lot more.

How would the situation have evolved if we have had no lockdown at all is an interesting question, and assessing the quality of the models that were used to predict casualties is, IMHO, one of the main things governments should do asap.

All the projections i’ve seen during the pandemic were off by at least 50% (in their most generous intepretation), and countries like sweden that locked people down the least didn’t see any difference in the number of casualties.
