It’s absolutely heart breaking.
I saw a piece on the news yesterday from New Zealand, how they are dealing with the crisis under the leadership of Jacinda Ardern.
I know there are various factors why NZ was less vulnerable than the UK to this disease - physical geography & population density being a couple of them.
That said, I can’t help but feel the effects of COVID-19 on this country, most specifically our horrendous death toll, are symptomatic of bigger issues in our politics and in our society.
This specific outcome for the UK almost felt inevitable. This is subjective but I feel like we’ve been losing our way for a long while.
