1. The govt strategy on #Coronavirus is more refined than those used in other countries and potentially very effective. But it is also riskier and based on a number of assumptions. They need to be correct, and the measures they introduce need to work when they are supposed to.

The Johnson "take it on the chin" thing is total fake news. An interview from last week, picked up only yesterday (why?), in which the whole fuss centres on a misleading clip of him actually saying that's precisely what he thinks we shouldn't do. Do better, Twitter.
