. I'm just at a loss bit like the Government.
The Government can be excused some things, there is no rule book for new viruses.
The race to develop a vaccine is brilliant.
The Nightingale hospitals are remarkable.
Rishi Sunak is doing a pretty good job.
Sadly there are many things they can’t be excused.
Reacting too slowly to initial outbreak.
Total lack of PPE even though it had been raised pre virus.
Over dependence on China for nearly everything
Panic buying
Letting the unelected Dominic Cummings run things
Supporting DC over informed knowledgeable health advisors
Totally failing to realise that as we enter autumn and the temporary lab staff went back to full time work coincided with students going to university, children going back to school, folks getting told to go back to work, borders being reopened, failing to “police” people who should be isolating might all cause a testing back log.
Failing to implement a “world class track and trace system”
Failing to look into to what went well and badly the first time to help prevent making the same mistakes this time
There’s more but I’ll stop other than to add Keir Starmers, Mark Drakeford and Nicola Sturgeons ratings are on the up. BJ with his blustering attempts at Churchillian speeches is sinking faster than the Titanic, even his father ignores his rules. On other matters his government is making more U turns than a plumbing fitting company with ministers seemingly Teflon proofed against serious mistakes.
Yep BJ and his government are at a loss
