> My general opinion is that the UK did the right measures[0], but consistently with the wrong timing. Absolutely this. The reason is Boris Johnson. I mean, quite literally. There is a cycle of him lurching between different Churchillian aspects -- freedom-and-damn-them-all-to-hell to fight-them-on-the-beaches and back. And he only ever changed to the latter position after the evidence was unavoidable, because he's psychologically incapable of thinking about anyone but himself and how history would perceive him personally. He is absolutely the fundamental reason why this country can only act out of expedience and urgency.
