This makes no sense at all - what reason is there to communicate the government's strategy opaquely? The virus won't, in fact, change it's strategy if the government is more transparent.

The point is that we need better, more concrete government communications.

The point of the tweet and my reply was that if Twitter had existed during WWII it would have been full of people demanding the government publish its data to allow them to pore over or communicate differently. Which you've kind of proven...

And the point of his response is that without a war against a human enemy there's no good reason not to do so

His point was irrelevant to either the original tweet or my reply. They weren't about whether the government is communicating well or otherwise. They were about a hypothetical twitter being full of people who demand that things are done how they want. Just like the actual one.

Most would be wrong. Some correct. Some accidentally correct. Some claiming they were correct when they were actually wrong. Some not bothering so long as they got enough retweets or likes. And some reverting to cat videos.

Yes, thats why we elect them and why we have a chief medical officer to give guidance, not some halfwit walter mitty who read the back of a pack of paracetamol and now is an expert on fever or pandemic management.

What about people who read the WHO guidance and the news about what other countries are doing and see that the UK is alone in this galaxy brain "controlled burn" narrative
