There's so much conflicting information from all angles, I feel sorry for those in charge, having to make sense of it all and more importantly having to make decisions, based on that advice - damned if the do, damned if they don't or a hiding to nothing!
Some countries, e.g. Sweden, didn't even have a significant lock-down, like many other countries. Have they fared any worse than others who did have lock-downs? Probably not!
It's clear that age of population, density of population and the potency of COVID-19 are three things that determined how bad a country fared compered to others. There were many other factors too, but the UK, particularly England and even more so, London, score badly on the first three considerations.
The media, in their desire to remain relevant, only serve to stoke mass hysteria. If there's not a story, they will make one or make a mountain out of a mole hill.
