Neither am I but at the same time, it's possible there is no good answer. As much as we should hold the Government and the NHS to come up with solutions we should also acknowledge that some problems aren't perfectly solved.
There is a pandemic. It's spread by human interaction. The more people interact the more people catch it, a subset of which will end up on hospital and a further subset will end up in ICU. The 'experts' have come up with a vaccine in record time and they've also discovered treatments which reduce the ICU admittance rate and the death rate.
But still the numbers are too much to deal with.
Yes there has been a failure here but the only failure I can see is the lack of a lockdown coming into December? We cannot scale hospital capacity easily.
