I was resonding to this:
At the point of lockdown in the UK there was little evidence supporting such a move, and a good amount of evidence opposing it.
But even taking onboard the April study, the WHO - as far as I can tell - only changed their recommendations in June.
Of course the UK could - and possibly should - have done it sooner. But it's not as simple as you're making it out to be. The science wasn't clear. Recommendations weren't clear. There were potential negative consequences (as others have mentioned with PPE shortages).
This government's been fucking useless though.
