Whatever your biases there is no doubt that the original approach of herd immunity was different from other countries and there has to be an almighty handbrake turn, which cost valuable time. The dissembling over the European procurement system wasn’t their finest hour either. I know that some will say the time for recriminations is after this has settled down, but there are legitimate questions regarding the testing of NHS staff for example that need answering now. 4/10 from me to date.
