I was in Hong Kong airport in January after being away on business. i SAW with my own eyes what the authorities were doing to try and stem the cases. I also had colleagues who were in bejing at the time who saw even closer what was happening. People getting temperatures checked, turned away from flights etc.
If you're telling me that governments we're not aware of what was going on in China then that should make you more concerned. Or, is it more likely that governments decided to treat it like SARS-1/MERS and thought it would never reach here.
I'm not just slating the UK government, every government in Europe and the rest of the western world should be deeply concerned by the way they've handled this. (possible exception for Germany)
Surely the whole point of debate such as this is to put forward how we would deal with a situation if we were the ones in charge?

Unbelievable, let's hope Drs and Nurses don't walk away. At the moment we're asking them to put themselves, their families and other patients at risk. There is such a thing as duty of care for any employer, the Govt are failing on this for NHS staff.

Nope, it's absolutely not the governments fault... they couldn't have possibly prepared for this.....
