There will be a public enquiry once this is over and done with, and doubtless it will identify errors, but I’m sure what it won’t do is draw crass and deliberately misleading parallels with very small countries in isolated corners of the Pacific ocean.

Musings
Things that the government deserve credit for.
Implementing lockdown. (the timing however is debatable)
The furlough scheme.
The building of the nighthinggales
I"m genuinely struggling to think of others
Things the government should be held to account and challenged/owes the population a genuine explanation on
Abandoning the testing regime
The failure to force international arrivals to quarantine earlier.
The absolute debacle that has become track and trace
The third highest death rate in the world.
Lifting lockdown too early.
Whilst I don't like Boris one bit, I was quite impressed with the way he initially dealt with the situation. He does however now look like he has no long term plan, and is ignoring the science
