Off Topic Covid 19 restrictions have done one

Depends if any of their advice was actually taken on board, or just ignored by the Government

 

I find it hard to believe that Boris had anything to do with the hoops (and loopholes) I had to jump through to get into and out of the country.

 

...but then he went the other way? Unnecessary further lockdowns that could never stop the spread. Listening this aft to the debates on radio, one key point I've heard is that the country had an emergency plan in place for such scenarios ....but didn't use it! The plan included that full lockdowns are pointless for such viruses (shield, protect the most vulnerable instead). The initial lockdown, which was too late, was understandable, simply to buy time to figure things out, but beyond that, gross incompetence and corruption.
