By the time we realised the importance of testing it was too late, the disease was out of control. We gave up testing all but the seriously ill, which was a bit late to put it politely.

Of course, you get everything right first time, don't you, Mr K. It's easy to be wise after the event and to sit back and criticise while others actually do the work. It is refreshing to note that Labour has been supportive of the government on their handling of this to date and have offered to join with them in tackling this, which the Johnson government has gladly accepted.
As far as Germany and South Korea are concerned, yes, they got off to a flying start. Only when this is over will we know how relevant that was. Remember, there are still a lot of people out there who have not yet been infected, and so the whole thing might yet start again out there.
