We are two/three weeks behind Italy, France etc. there was still time then to step up a gear. However, that would have been short sighted.

We shouldn't have been looking at them, we should have been looking at China, As I said UK hospitals were briefed on the end of January on the probable spread and transmission rates.


The UK government on the advice of the CMO etc have

Stopped contact tracing
Waited to long to impose lockdown
Not tested arrivals into the country
Not forced arrivals into the country to self isolate for fourteen days.
Failed to provide sufficient or of adequate quality PPE to secondary care & care homes
Failed to increase testing to a suitable quantity

They have built the Nightinggales, but that's about the only thing they have got right.
