Which country that has been affected in a major way has had enough PPE?

Just more of the never-ending nonsense. |
A Cobra meeting is not simply a meeting co-ordinating different departments. Nor is it a meeting for people to take away woolly investigations and consider potential decisions.
It's about reacting quickly by having all the key decision-makers together.
"The point is to have the important officials in the same place, so quick, decisive action can be taken."

They're usually chaired by the PM:
"The Prime Minister will usually chair Cobra meetings, and tends to always do so if the crisis at hand is more severe.

Just to make that clear "The Prime Minister will usually chair the meetings."

At the drop of a hat in many cases. But if the Education Secretary has said they won't re-open soon, then it's all a bit, uhm, academic.
