A few days immediate lockdown makes sense I think; business can get through it.  The UK is seeing the impact of making decisions too late every time.

Totally agree, if you want to see what happens when you don't act swiftly then study what has happened here in England. Scotland & Wales took different actions. Businesses should be able to handle 3 days, imagine 9 months of on/off lock downs. Business owners are in despair.

1,162 deaths yesterday, almost 80,000 total now. Average of 50,000+ new cases daily, hospitals in the south on the brink of collapse & very sick patients being transported across the country. This so called British variant was first identified by British scientists, it was first found in Kent in September so could easily have come from Europe as free movement in & out of the country was allowed. Only now are the government looking at tightening up entry regulations in any meaningful way.
