There’s no panic, and I don’t think there really was apart from March when people seemed to go for toilet paper. That was not just the uk either...remember the videos of supermarket shoppers in Australia fighting over the toilet rolled?Now, it’s very political with the non government parties criticising the government over lack of foresight and not having an exit strategy.What we forget is that in the uk, the government relies upon its scientific and medical advisors.....and irrespective of which party is in power, the advice would be the same. As for an exit strategy, again, people forget, this virus is a killer and it won’t just be blown away. Our national strategy, as with many other countries, is to slow the spread of the disease so as not to overwhelm our health service, so that those contracting the virus can be properly cared for and hopefully cured. An early exit of any lockdown strategy must proceed with great caution as we don’t want a sudden surge in patients, defeating the purpose of the lockdown in the first place. We must be cautious, and continue all efforts to find a vaccine. Without one, we have to consider social distancing and staying home as our normal way of life.Stay safe, stay home, protect the health service.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk</blockquote>
