This is where I think the government's biggest failing, aside from simply not locking down early enough, lies.
It's a much more personal and human situation than they seem to realise. The economy is clearly priority #1 rather than public health, so it's not really a surprise they've ballsed up so spectacularly with regard to legislature and guidelines for coming out of this.
There's no 'human' touch at all from any of the government figures who have appeared at the lectern. They don't appear to have any real concept of how this is playing out in the minds of the individual UK citizen, nor do they appear to have the skills required to reassure them and communicate the necessary message in a compassionate manner that spells it out to those in doubt that coming out of lockdown is both a natural thing to do, and appropriate as and when it's time to do so.
I accept that people who are likely to climb to the top in politics will often be lacking a bit in terms of personal humanity, the 'common touch' if you like, and may present as cold, sterile, or in the case of Rabb, a raging psychopath, but for an entire government to be completely devoid of it entirely is worrying and hugely problematic.
