Whatever Boris does on Monday to reduce virus spread will alienate a large part of the population.
Any financial and jobs package will either be "quite inadequate" or "unaffordable".
Politicians like to please (or at least not alienate) too many voters. An explicit strategy is desperately needed but unlikely to be forthcoming - saving lives at any cost is fundamentally inconsistent with saving the economy.
So get ready for expressions of regret, difficult decision, sympathy for the affected blah, blah ....
