These are unprecedented times, no one could have foresaw this.

Those looking to make political points at this time are beyond the pale. We'd be in this position whether we had the Tories for the past 10 years or Labour. The brainwashed are those who believe their own ideology would save the world.
It isn't about saving the world, it is about being prepared. Just like somebody living paycheck to paycheck has no capability to save for a rainy day, the NHS isn't funded to a level where it can adequately prepare for a situation like this.
