or maybe its unhelpful to do as many seem to be doing, pointing to the worst case, ignoring why they are the worst cases, and saying that's really likely going to happen everywhere. It's not helpful, especially when health services are essentially doing everything they possibly can already, its not like they are holding back because reasons.
It's not on Boris or gov as much as us (it was here spreading already), it's been on us since the first advice was given (unless you think gov should have the power to weld you into your home), and we knew it was a pandemic. It's on the media too because the media created panic buying in the initial stages of it spreading in the UK, which spread that virus all over the place.
Since then the pejorative we have not covered ourselves in glory, though the response has improved thankfully.
So as far as how bad this gets infection rates wise, it's actually on us at this point, no one else.
