Over the past few days, coronavirus infections have spiked, nearly doubling to about 3,000 cases on Sunday and Monday, and 2,500 cases on Tuesday. Equally, Hancock is quite right that young people have a responsibility to act cautiously in order to avoid spreading infection. However, to pick out young people and suggest that infections are rising due to their bad behaviour is quite another thing.

The best way the government can affect behaviour is by supporting people to do the right thing.
