To this I would add:

Credit:
- Slogan: Stay home -protect the NHS - save lives was good
- Other business support eg rates relief, loans, deferral of VAT payments
- Regular communication
- Funding of public transport (buses, trams, trains) to compensate for loss of fare income

Debit:
- Procurement of ventilators with inexperienced providers outside he sector
- Cummingsgate which gave some people the excuse to reduce their adherence to the rules
- Turkish PPE fiasco, a propaganda exercise that failed to deliver
- Fudging the testing stats
- Requiring in-person votes in House of Commons
Yep, can add those

Lets add 'Stay Alert, Control the virus....' to the debit column as it caused confusion
