The UK governments is facing criticism for not going further, like the French or Irish for example, but I'm not sure that they are wrong and they seem to be following the advice of medical experts.
It's hard for me to believe that the UK is being uniquely clear sighted, and the rest of the world is confused. But it's possible.
I can't find anywhere any details of the model that the British government is using, so that I can understand their response. Surely this must be in the public domain.
I haven't checked, but ditto for the (opposed?) model that the French government is using.
Que -- is there a united EC approach to this, a set of policies which give guidelines to all EU countries about (for example) when to close schools, restrict travel etc? Or is each country using a different model and following different objectives?
I would have thought that openness would be a good thing on this sort of situation, just to get the buy in of the people.
