Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[Hilts]

^^^This

It is easy to criticise, we still know very little about this virus and each country around the world is learning as it goes,

It would be easy to shut everything down and wait it out, except the country would have little to go back to and have a even bigger debt ( great news for the people who like to knock the tories which just happens to be most of this mb ) the balance has to be inbetween which appears to be what the Governments are attempting to do

Agree its very difficult.

But spouting bollox about World Class track and trace.

Allowing a chief advisor to remain in post when he should have gone. Even on this site at least one desperate Tory was trying to justify it as his son was autistic(which he wasnt)

Fist pumping go back to work even if you can work from home.

10m tests a day.

Theres loads of errors and they always were going to be and they will continue. But some by the front bench are totally unacceptable.

In years to come history wont be kind to Johnson and co.

10 million tests a day, the moon shot or whatever was due by the end of October I read today so let’s hope at least they get that right as it’s a massive game changer....

I agree with much of this. Mistakes have been made, but on the other hand, all governments are learning as they go along. I'm unsure what you mean about the government's chief advisor who shouldn't be allowed to remain in post. If you are referring to Patrick Valance or Chris Whitty my view is that your opinion is unfair. Indeed their doom and gloom predictions wouldn't have been far off the mark had the government not reacted by closing things down. If you are referring to Dido Harding then you have a point but her job is a very difficult one.

The money being paid to consultants is obscene but that is how much these guys charge. The suggestion by the opposition that local authorities should be more in control with their local knowledge sounds sensible but they haven't the staff and would probably end up employing the same consultants the government has employed.

When the inevitable Inquiry happens those who look at the errors made will not be kind but dealing with issues in hindsight is not reality.

It is all very difficult as you acknowledge.
