I don't disagree with that but frankly it's what he should be doing - I'm not giving him a medal just for not clowning.
The obfuscation and fudge between suppression/mitigation creates doubt for me that I don't like. I realise that we can't know everything because the peasants would be revolting, although I don't see the harm in explaining why they aren't doing more testing (concentration of people, kits and resources presumably).
Taking Lygonos's point that it needs to run through the population (which doesn't seem to be the Chinese way at the moment) we are mitigating but we know that probably can't happen in just the summer without swamping the NHS because the NHS capacity line on the sombrero graph is really much lower than was presented.
If there's more meat from Whitty and Vallance I'd like to see it/read it.
