It's important because it is political. There have been widespread calls for government to show it's working, and a really determined campaign to show that the strategy is ineffective and is the thing of the prime minister. The document is a chance for the government to try and change some of these perceptions.
Also it is pretty impressive how transaprent the UK prime minister has been in dealing with this pandemic.
- 100% scientific driven approach
- Daily briefings and updates addressed to the public
- Daily Q&A where the PM addresses questions from the press
- Publication of all scientific papers and studies conducated in this short amount of time which are fundamental in decision making
Nobody has a crystal ball to look into the future and therefore nobody can say if what the UK gov has done so far and when they have done it and how they have done it was any good or bad, but I rather have a government which takes such a scientific and transparent approach than anything contrary.
Mistakes can happen regardless which approach one takes, but I rather have a mistake done based on best scientific effort than through negligence.
