I for one don't agree with what our government has done. However I have not flouted the lockdown. I will continue to question the wisdom of many of our governments decisions/non-decisions during this period. The government needs to be held to harsh scrutiny. They are receiving a range of advice from even more severe restrictions to far lesser. There are a variey of options on the table, this government has chosen an incredibly expensive route with no obvious exit strategy, other than hoping on the fast production of a treatment for the virus.
I have even less confidence in WHO and am becoming increasingly concerned about the UN's wider political agenda around this pandemic.
I agree with your last point, jonu. The UN has become increasingly conspicuous by its absence until recently - but perhaps this isn't surprising given the neglect (contempt?) with which some of the bigger powers treat it.
Absolutely - Trump in his wisdom killed not only off the US department responsible for preparing a pandemic response (and look, how good this does them now), but he was as well hell bound to financially starve the WHO and the UN. Both the US as well as the rest of the world are now paying a very high price for supporting this idiot.
To be fair to Trump - though it hurts me to write that! - the poor treatment of the UN by the USA started long before he came along. The biggest economy/strongest power in the world has never taken kindly to the UN telling it what to do!
