You’re stating that as if Government couldn’t have intervened to create testing capacity at an earlier stage (e.g. the wasted weeks pushing the scientifically disproven herd immunity) - something Hunt as PM (the hypothetical scenario he was offered in the interview) would presumably have some authority to push forward.

A quick Google search throws up Hunt calling for community testing in March 2020, so I think the “Captain Hindsight” insult is unfair in this case. It’s in the nature of the question he was asked and he himself acknowledges the chances are he would have made different mistakes.
