Excellent clear briefing from @DominicRaab and @uksciencechief on #Covid19UK and #lockdownuk
I feel much more assured about the #UKGoverment and @DHSCgovuk approach.

To those who want certain firm answers about when #lockdownuk ends: you can’t have it. These are uncertain times, and we have to learn to live with uncertainty. We should not lift the lockdown until we are confident that infection rates and mortality rates are coming well down.
We also need to see what happens as other countries relax their measures. Lifting #lockdown prematurely and having a large surge in hospital admissions and #ICU demand would be far worse than continuing the lockdown.

Clear that society is moving ahead of #UKGoverment now. This is good: (neighbourhood & community groups coming together/social distancing etc. Institutions incl care homes & premier league closing). Also bad: (panic buying, hoarding, acting on rumours, factoids etc).
Either way it’s a testament to the ongoing leadership drift and the disastrous and terrifying absence of clarity & direction from a government that we cannot rely on to protect the most vulnerable.
This absence of leadership is not surprising: Johnson & his gang have demonstrated again and again that they are bluffers and chancers, good at campaigning, sloganising, ‘stealing the impression of other people’s fantasies’, to paraphrase Shakespeare
