That was a turn by 180 degrees... Now it seems he has realized how badly equipped the NHS is, so there‘s no alternative.
What a load of cobbler’s, the only reason he has done this is because some people ignored the advice about social distancing, (Crowded beaches, parks etc.) so they have now forced it on them.
The plan of action has not changed (It’s just now compulsory) in that it spreads out the increase so that the NHS can cope, (Unlike the panicking EU) who by closing everything down so soon that a peak occurred that overwhelmed their health systems. (Even the best health care systems can be overwhelmed with poor planning)
You really should stop listening to your incompetent EU masters as they are just a waste of space.
