This is the most damning trustworthy report I have read that lays bare what was wrong with the UK's approach to CV.

... and there's more in the link.
They DID test and trace, until the number of cases grew too large. That was in line with other countries including Germany and South Korea. Again even Germany and South Korea had shortages of PPE and testing kits, and they were "barely" touched by it.


The initial WHO advice was not to bother with the general public wearing face masks, what happened to that?
From your link

Quote:
* the government's complete disregard of World Health Organisation evidence
* deeper concern with maintaining a flawed commercial market system than a national service for general public good
* years of underfunding and fragmentation by allowing private health companies to enter and break it up
How much of that isn't politically biased?


An independent(non-UK) report from last year said that the UK was 2nd in being the best prepared. Another independent(non-UK) report also said that the NHS had stock worth £100m ready for a pandemic.
