Just to point out, that Britain tried herd immunity first - made clear by Boris' speech in February, and confirmed by Cummings. That was not sage. Then late lockdowns, the Christmas back and forth were all Johnson working against advice, and not sage who were consistently recommending earlier lockdowns.

The government has always tried to do anything and everything else before taking the appropriate advice. Eat out to help out and taking schools to court and forcing them to open were nothing to do with sage.
