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.
You are creating the impression that the title of Captain Hindsight should be passed to you.

I must say that you are a very strong candidate and you have my support. Don't say I never do anything for you!

Whatever the rights and wrongs, I think the government threw everything into this, and those who criticise the initiatives what went wrong are simply Gogglewatch commentators who aren’t much good at anything else.

The government did what they could, and with the Astro Zeneca vaccine - well, they pulled a blinder.

And all you can do is criticise. Thank God you weren’t in charge! We’d still be hiding under the stairs!
