Ending the UK& #39;s belated lockdown without an exit strategy to control virus transmission by other means (eg test/contact-trace/isolate/maintain social distancing, have public wear masks) is the worst plan of all: none. It won& #39;t save the economy or the NHS or lives. https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla/status/1248499777580322817">https://twitter.com/carolecad...
Are the inner circle of epidemiologist govt advisors modelling possible post-lockdown exit strategies? Is the testing ramp-up being accelerated? Are volunteers being trained to do contact-tracing?
If not, why not?

If UKgov takes no steps to take back control of the virus (to use a phrase from dark-enough pre-COVID-19 times), then of course the Deputy CSA& #39;s prophecy of doom becomes self-fulfilling.
That doesn& #39;t make it inevitable, as other countries show.

A striking feature of the UK response to the pandemic seems to be that successes in other countries are not being considered for adoption here. What am I missing?
