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

South Korea had very effective test and trace from early on...

South Korea has effectively flattened its curve without imposing strict stay-home measures of other countries by developing an aggressive and widespread strategy of testing and contact tracing. With free, 10-minute tests conducted in drive-thru and walk-in centers, the country of 51 million had tested over 270,000 people by mid-March, reports the Guardian.
Further, utilizing GPS phone tracking, CCTV and credit card transaction monitoring, the country employs a comprehensive universal contact tracing strategy—automating alerts to people who may have been exposed to COVID-19 via text message. Officials say this system requires only 10-minutes per case.
