The Irish Examiner View: Follow the science, not the bluster

The lock down has been, and will be, a very frustrating experience. Its  acceptance by the majority of people, even if through gritted teeth, shows that Margaret Thatcher was utterly wrong when she hissed, in her feline way, that there is no such thing as society.

Solidarity, patience, understanding and no little humanity characterise our response. These instincts are the very heartbeat, the priceless holding together of society even if a minority are indifferent. Thankfully, our better angels sang loudest, hopefully they can continue to do so.
