He lied before. We could see from the numbers he wasn't telling the truth. After the disaster lockdown decision that he reversed hours later, he should have implemented this same weekend lockdown and earlier curfew hours. Just gross incompetence. Added to that people don't listen. Also, do we know with a certainty if the medical experts have a full picture on the spread.
