> this is almost becoming the accepted narrative in the UK "Accepted narrative" != "Anything resembling the truth". > restrictions because SAGE and the modelling has been discredited. They are screaming for more restrictions and escalating to talk about millions of cases per day, and our politicians are (rightly, in my opinion) putting them back in their boxes. This narrative of "policians vs. scientists" is gaining traction here and I hate it. It's unhelpful and incorrect. It's reductive, but who would you rather have making decisions about our country in a pandemic? Chris Whitty, or Boris Johnson? I know who I'd pick. > I am hoping it will be the final nail in the coffin for credibility of the modellers. Then what? Who do we put our faith in? Politicians with no scientific background who make decisions based on political convienience?
