No one expects leaders to act flawlessly in these circumstances but the underlying fact is that we have had the great advantage of seeing what's coming for weeks and our government has simply pissed around, gave conflicting messages to the public and pretended it was not a major problem UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE.
We had over six weeks preparation time and the tories spent it squabbling about civil servants and the deplorable behaviour of Pritti Patel, also bickering about Europe's tough stance towards our cobbled together plans for trade based on Bojo's bluster and buffoonery. Boris went on holiday while the nation was left to sleepwalk into a crisis.
That was the time to scope up the ICU beds, the availability of personal protective equipment and to source ventilators. This Government wasted the chance to restrict the transmission of the disease when it ceased large scale testing
Many people are going to die who otherwise could have been saved. When this is over there will have to be a reckoning.
