The point is, the old guys running the governments are scared. Boris Johnson changed his tone about the virus after it sent him to the ICU. They are scared of their own lives and that is driving them to choose the current policies.

I wish we had a transparent government where we knew what was really going on. But that is a pipe dream, as it is probably on a need to know basis.

Hahaha lol. I don't blame you. Who knows what's actually going on among the decision makers.
