Much like you roll out the same response every time, South Korea [or insert country here] did better than us at something [or insert whatever here].
You just go around in constant argumentative circles - often that someone did better than the UK at something, and/all everything is the governments fault (as you clearly dont like them) ... blah blah blah. You're like a teacher that tells the successful scientist they are a complete failure because John Doe scored higher marks than them on the English Test, and Jane Doe scored higher marks in Art.
No one is best at everything.
If you hate the UK and its government so much, why not emigrate to South Korea.
With all the praise you lavish on them, I think they would welcome you with open arms.

It’s not my fault they (South Korea) set the standard.
Far from hating this Government I want it to get this right - that results in less deaths and a quicker economic recovery (and in the long run better polling results). It allows them to concentrate on more important things - like Brexit and negotiating better international trade deals - which comes from us being in a better economic position.
It’s not my views being skewed from whether or not I voted for this Government or not - it’s others on the forum. Boris delivered Brexit, therefore can do no wrong.
Do we all agree we want them to get this right? Economic recovery? Less deaths? Pubs open? If so, I fail to see what the argument is actually about. We need to learn what went wrong, and what to fix going forward. That means looking elsewhere. Shrugging our shoulders and saying it’s too hard to test, trace, isolate cases results in months, if not years, of economic turmoil and more deaths. I think regardless of whether you voted Conservative, Labour, Leave or Remain that’s an undesirable outcome.
If people genuinely believe nothing has gone wrong to date then fundamentally that’s accepting herd immunity. With us about a quarter of the way there at a cost of 40,000 deaths then they’re ultimately accepting 160,000 deaths and years of an economic slump is a price worth paying rather than funding a world leading response to the virus. I don’t know on what planet that makes sense.
