Coronavirus

[molehill]

As proven (not) by countries that did take action sooner like Germany? New Zealand? They locked down earlier and could therefore un-lockdown sooner

As has been said before, comparing New Zealand with UK in any way is irrelevant and don't know why people (like yourself) even mention it. Totally different scenario and they still have to address how they will replace the tourism industry, they are not sailing into the future with all hunky dory.
Germany is closer but still massive differences to UK, as are most countries, far too early for direct comparisons.
