If people are stupid or blinkered enough not to see that the govt has made a very difficult situation even worse, then that's their problem. Relatively to stage of the epidemic, the UK has one of the slowest and most inadequate responses in the world and we are paying the price. People can keep making excuses for this and keep deluding themselves, but the numbers are getting more and more damning.
While no 2 countries are the same, it's also laughable to keep saying that every country which has so far dealt with this successfully is somehow a special case:
Singapore? Special case - small densely populated island city
South Korea? Their outbreak was concentrated
Tawain? Hong Kong? New Zealand? Greece? Australia? Denmark? Norway? Slovenia? Slovakia? Serbia? Poland? Croatia? Finland? Czechia? Hungary? Estonia?
Ludicrous stuff.
