I do not think anyone is superman,,But I KNOW it is too early to be so critical and form firm conclusions at this stage in the pandemic.
Well at least Labour

Up to now the government have made a complete mess of things, they have cost peoples lives, from what i understand the UK refused ventilators from the EU and said we will make our own, and that apparently is not turning out well at all, the lack of PPE should have been addressed ages ago, Boris and co walking round shoulder to shoulder and ignoring their own distancing rules and getting infected, you could go on and on...
you won't mind me pointing out a few weaknesses that result in numerous avoidable deaths, will you.
"Only 2,000 out of 500,000 frontline NHS staff have had tests for coronavirus, the UK government admitted on Wednesday as the latest daily reported death toll from the pandemic in hospitals climbed to a record 563.
Ministers are facing mounting criticism over the speed at which testing has been rolled out with one in four doctors either on sick leave or self-isolating, hampering the ability of hospitals to treat patients as the outbreak approaches its peak."

Irrelevant.
Irrelevant. Still.
I think there are 2 separate things -the government made some serious errors in their delay ordering ventilators, PPE, ventilators and for that they should face criticism.
of course there are mistakes and wrong decisions being made by the government, this is a global crisis due to a novel virus, its changing daily. But mistakes are inevitable, its not possible for this or any government to get it all correct. Its only right we should cut them a bit of slack -my frustration is in times of such crisis, we need governments to be honest -we do not want the liar Gove spouting BS

Blimey noseall u must be a party member
When publishing that did they mention how many need testing and the turn round time on the test pus how many tests can be done? Very very unlikely.
The big mistake essentially is taking no notice at all of comments over many years that this sort of thing can happen and will at some point. There have been several near misses such as the time they ordered rather a lot of antivirals.
They had Blair on TV tonight. C4 mischievously asked him if he would like to lead a national government. His views though as usual were pretty clear where they could be.

Shame on Witty for telling it as it is.

The UK government’s chief medical officer has conceded that Germany “got ahead” in testing people for Covid-19 and said the UK needed to learn from that.
“We all know that Germany got ahead in terms of its ability to do testing for the virus, and there’s a lot to learn from that.” Germany is already able to test 500,000 patients a week and is under pressure to increase this further.
