If there is any blame it's to the idiots going out with a valid reason.
Sunbathing in the park or beach is not one.

So, there are two issues with the bolded part.
We DO plan for pandemics, and we were found to be woefully unequipped to fight against them. (last time was 2016 IIRC)
This virus was known about since mid-late January, the government could have and should have started to purchase the PPE and other equipment that was needed. They did not
The governments inactions have to a degree contributed to the +6000 deaths and countless thousands of critically ill patients that we would normally see at this time of year.

There should be an independent enquiry, lessons learnt

Those who have died needlessly may have a separate viewpoint (of course it's emotional)
Those who are currently treating the ill and are without suitable PPE will have a different viewpoint
If the government is found to have failed to prepare for this, then blame should be apportioned and the people responsible replaced.
