Our leaders early on let sporting events continue..international rugby, Cheltenham festival. Then a declaration that the NHS was ready for anything, but it wasn’t. Lack of PPE, CCU beds, equipment, tracking and tracing, ignoring care homes. These are the things that mean the difference between life and death.

In Greece, a country that has been through an austerity episode that we can only imagine, they nailed it hard and fast, following the success of countries like South Korea.

1,000 deaths would have been too many, but 37, 000 is sickening and our leaders seem to indicate that we’ve done well
Agree with everything you’ve said there but would suggest dropping the description of “casual” for negligent and politically motivated.
