It is obvious that we need someone to blame as the death toll rises, we cannot really criticised virus. I suspect the other European and N American countries are doing the same as the death toll follows the same trend and pattern.
As ever hindsight will show what worked and what didn’t.
The delay between infection and death will mean any indication of effectiveness of current measures and assessment of the current situation will be reflected in the statistics in around three weeks time.
Our current situation is only possibly a judgement of the situation around three weeks ago.

What angers me more than anything is the complete lack of honesty from them subsequently, the inability to admit mistakes, the evasion of questions, the moral cowardice of those that realise they are culpable.
I resent your false assertion that "people" need someone to blame.
Blame lies entirely with those in responsibility, the government, for their criminal lack of preparation while they slapped themselves on the back for their election victory.
