I concur.

Boris Johnson looked very tired, but actually - and I can’t believe I think this - did a good job yesterday.

I was thinking after — they’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Many people seem to want draconian measures now, judging from the WhatsApp photos going around.

Then there’s the markets etc etc who want stability etc.

The “any fever or persistent cough = self isolate” was a good call i think.

It takes a lot of untested sick people - potential cases - out of circulation before all hell breaks loose.

It buys time with minimum disruption - many people might take the time off sick anyway if they’re already ill.

Also buys time to implement infra. and org. planning.
