| conclusion right up until the conclusion of the *event/day/meeting* Explanation: This could mean, like Yvonne said, conclusion they reached. It could also mean the conclusion of the meeting or whatever context this is from. They kept asking questions, from the beginning of the meeting, right up until it's conclusion! |

peer agreement (net): +1| conclusion consensus (the opinion of the experts) Explanation: Asker, it is really important to post quotations correctly. veryone still seems to be looking at the garbled version you originally posted rather than reading the article. It's obvious from the article that "conclusion" does NOT mean "end(ing) here but rather the conclusion or OPINION REACHED BY THE EXPERTS. Immediately after that meeting, it says there were few, if any, objections to the conclusion reached so one could say these experts reached a consensual agreement that the virus would NOT have much impact on the UK and hence they did not ban events such as the Cheltenham race meeting. A big mistake as it turned out. https://www.unz.com/pcockburn/the-chaotic-response-to-corona... "...From the beginning, the authorities underestimated the gravity of the crisis: only five-and-a-half weeks ago, on 21 February, a meeting of government scientific advisers concluded that Covid-19 posed only a “moderate risk” to Britain. This was well after the epidemic had swept through China, where there were already 75,465 cases and 2,236 deaths, and was spreading to South Korea, Taiwan, Iran, Italy and France. Scientific panjandrums who have since become television celebrities, such as the pandemic modeller Neil Ferguson, were at the meeting. But there appeared little objections raised to the conclusion directly afterwards. A quarter of a million people were allowed to attend the Cheltenham Festival on 10 to 13 March, only ten days before Boris Johnson said that everybody should stay at home and not gather in large numbers to avoid the spread of the deadly virus. These were miscalculations of First World War dimensions and are already exacting a heavy toll in human lives." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2020-04-12 10:49:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- typo on 1st line of explanation: EVERYONE https://www.dictionary.com/browse/conclusion |
