I do think a certain number of deaths were always inevitable and I think you can almost forgive the slow start for the first lockdown.
The failure to notice to same warnings after the summer is probably the biggest failure of this government. I don't think comparing number of deaths with different countries adds any weight to that.
But also look at deaths per million for each country, have we behaved much differently to any western country? I'd say no and I think we do have a slight excuse for having so many more deaths.
Surely you can see that 52 deaths is a reason for failure and celebration though? As disgusting as that sounds it shows we are moving in the right direction.
