I can quote several of you in this thread from the beginning of it, that said this is just hyped up by the Media, or it's political correctness gone mad, practically none of you were taking this serious back in February, if people take a look back at the beginning of this thread, so if you were not taking it seriously, in February, why should you expect the government to have done the same?  |
Well for one they should have better information than us and it isn't our responsibility. I don't judge the competence of other professions based on if I could personally do it. The Times is alleging that the Government's own advisory committee were raising the alarm in late January.
I also think that even if they didn't know it would get as bad as it has they should have had better contingencies in case it did. The NHS said they needed PPE. Why didn't ramping that up start in February? Why did it take so long to scale up testing.
