You're absolutely right. It's quite clearly entirely Boris' fault, and Boris' alone, that there are so many individuals in the country that are completely incapable of taking any responsibility for themselves, let alone for their actions. I think it was entirely wrong of Boris to allow anyone, even the remotely sensibile minority, to make any of their own decisions about how they act, even in light of all the available information.
Boris threatening to imprison, or better still have the army patrolling the streets with instructions to beat or kill anyone that dared leave their own home, from day one. That's what was needed. After all, it's not like anyone bitched and moaned about infringements on their civili liberties when they were advised against washing their car in the street or anything.
Yep, Boris failed us. Damn him.
