Although I wrote the original comment criticising the UK daily briefing, I really disagree badly here.
> "Protect the NHS" ffs.. how about protect the population?
protecting the NHS IS protecting the population. If you have a better idea of how to protect the population - note that we have had nearly 2 months of government-mandated lockdown based on scientific advice (though taken too late) - then suggest it.
> The politicians aren't deferring to experts with evidence
Yes they are, finally.
> They are setting up the experts to be the fallguys
No they're not and they know it wouldn't work anyway.
I tried to make a justified criticism but yours is just plain destructive cynicism.
