  1. By relaxing lock down too early, and being late in restricting travel to the uk from India, the uk government is in danger of snatching defeat of the virus from the jaws of victory. One of the problems is that the government is reliant on making policy based on infection data, is flawed because the data is by devotion incomplete and out of date. This results in always closing the stable doors after the house has bolted. What is required is a little intelligent foresight. It is possible to predict the future to some extent by applying extrapolation to past vents and using a little imagination. The UK government's response to the the virus can be summed up by fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. In other words it has some excuse for its poor response to the first wave, but no excuse for that to the second wave, and a failure to avoid a third wave would be inexcusable.
