Yet, the only hate in here has come from you and a couple of others using the thread purely to peddle your "stupid lefties" agenda rather than address the discussion maturely.

I'd say it was pretty illuminating bearing in mind we had weeks and months to watch how other countries had handled the crisis, and what they'd learned about the best practices to deal with it.

A lockdown was advised against and there was still no evidence that a lockdown would stop it at that point in time

Lockdown isn't about "stopping it".

Another personal insult, on fire today Adam.

Lockdown is about slowing the spread to allow the hospitals to cope with it and save as many lives as possible.

If you think lockdown was about "stopping" the virus dead in its tracks, then it's not me being dumb.

Not one person mentioned stopping the virus dead because the fact is this is going to be a seasonal virus
