As the pandemic plays itself out over the coming months - or maybe years, heaven forbid - the true qualities of our leader's capabilities will be exposed further. I can imagine that many countries will then look in envy to those countries where decisive early leadership was evident such as Sweden or NZ even if their approaches to the problem were diametrically opposed. The key will obviously be the management of the country and all its other accumulated health and economic predicaments in the face of the pandemic rather than the pandemic itself.
If on ultimate reflection, Sweden got it right all along, what will we all do next to get out of the biggest hole we ever dug, especially bearing in mind that their approach was akin to that initially adopted by the two leaders most criticised on this forum!
As Peter J has said, perhaps, the next quandary will emerge in 4 - 6 weeks if death rates are within seasonal expectations. Having said that, the politicians will, of course, put this down to the precautionary 'lock-down' measures they have just imposed and so the confusion continues!
