You work it out -?
I'm agreeing with your assessment of the handling of the covid outbreak. We have failed.
Completely under prepared, insufficient supplies and lacking a plan.
All dreadful.
If those figures are correct for yesterday, no reason to doubt them.
Then how can you say we were under prepared with no plan?
With only 21 deaths (terrible for their families) from covid, and well over 3000 from stroke and heart attacks (in one day), then why would any government be prepared for an unknown human manufactured disease that nobody (apart from China) saw coming?
Surely the main target of NHS planning is the treatment of illnesses that can kill 1000's more than covid annually, even daily.
It seems that a lot of covid deaths are as a result of similar causes to stroke and heart attacks (obese, kidney and heart problems, diabetes) so which do you think the government should be planning the most for?
Why did none of the experts, nor those with their miraculous hindsight, not warn the government, the NHS and the general population last year so we all had time to prepare for covid 19? Remember the 19 in the name means "developed in 2019", so they had plenty of time to speak up about what was was coming in 2020.
