Other countries went in far harder, we should have done the same. I think the worry was that we are a very liberal minded Country and that some of the people, especially those who live in the large cities ( many of whom have refused to take in the advice given ) would have taken to the streets if the sort of stricter measures taken in more authoritarian Country's had been adopted.

Aussie PM Scott Morrison went berserk when the Aussies crowded Bondi Beach. Called it a national disgrace, Australia a laughing stock. Next day, the beach was empty! No p*ssing about, job done.

In the U.K. when we want to get tough all we get are people going on about a police state, cops being too heaving handed, dicks like Farage whinging, public protest marches. Media frenzy about our rights being eroded.

Then we wonder why the death rate ain’t going down quickly enough.

As we are now seeing in the uk wide protests today. Then people wonder as to why so many Coronavirus deaths in this Country. Mindless mob violence today and much unwarranted hostility being directed towards the police officers.
