I can’t understand the denials either. Remember, there were no vaccines, nor any certainty of getting any at that time. The speed at which infections increased was not expected.
Comedy gold OB.

"Not expected". The list of countries locking down, closing schools etc by this point was already extensive.

We were sitting playing the "multi generational households" card. British exceptionalism at its best.
