Government Not Following The Science Anymore

Two weeks ago when the idea of reducing the 2m rule was mentioned the Government held a review with SAGE, the Medical team advising the Government and the medical professionals said that the virus was still too widely in circulation and the 2m should stay.
Rather than putting an end to it, the Government then held another review, this time with Economists who advised that the 2m rule was preventing such places as pubs, restaurants and hotels from opening fully and the 2m rule should be reduced to at least 1m.
As Boris Johnson said in announcing the reduction and reopening of leisure facilities, he fully expects a spike in the number of cases and will be keeping the new measures under review but i understand the case that it is a balancing act between a possible increase of the risk of people getting the virus and the risk of people losing their jobs, businesses closing and children missing out on more time at school but the Government so far have been so terrible at every step in the crisis, you do wonder if without a working app and a track and trace system which is patchy at best, this is another example of the Government's shoddy approach to the crisis.
That many do not honestly trust their country's Government to keep us safe is a dangerous state of affairs especially as all the problems are self inflicted with acting too late and too slow to suppress infection sufficiently to knock it out and crippling the economy and then relaxing early because it can't carry on the damage to the economy so has to open it up almost guaranteeing a second wave in the autumn.
SAGE and the scientists should be shouting from the highest point long and loud that they did not sanction it because 'we followed the science' will be the mantra used to deflect blame them when it all goes horribly wrong.
