It's too early to tell what and who are falling short and I for one would welcome a full enquiry once we get a grasp of the situation but please bear in mind the logistics of handling this situation is immense and we as laymen are not with the full facts as to lay blame especially as this is a "once in centuries" catastrophe and caught a lot of countries with their trousers down !baldtiger wrote: ↑26 Apr 2020, 12:36 Not said owt on here for a bit . How does everyone thing the Tory's are doing ?
Personally I dont think they could organize a [REMOVED] up !
NHS still struggling for PPE .. Only report deaths in hospital when they know its at least double that number.
UK firms just exported 5 million items of PPE to Europe after trying to get a response from Tory party for 2 weeks
Burberrys offering to make gowns .. No Tory response , Scotland NHS said for them to go ahead .. And what I've heard there no good made out of the wrong material . Why the chuff didn't someone in charge make sure they were in the know!
Still not testing ! Germany had all there labs making test kits from January , so mass testing and putting people on ventilators before they were critical hence much better survival rates !!
I could go on lol , but my rant for the day is over too .. Hope all are well and keeping sane
I for one was gobsmacked that the England v Wales, Cheltenham Horse Racing and even the last Cas game v St.Helens was allowed to proceed in the knowledge that this was impending disaster on the horizon and how many lives have been lost from not pulling up stumps before these events !! Germany was quick to react and had invested in a much higher inventory of ventilators for example prior to this kicking off but it certainly looks like the UK didn't react as quick and also however a German spokesman mentioned this morning that they were very lucky in certain respects of the spread of the virus while other countries weren't, so luck played a part.
I would also go to say that lifting or not lifting the Lockdown is either way going to cost lives - Lifting Lockdown will exacerbate the spread of the virus while not doing so will also affect lives and livelihoods / economy and bankruptcy / food shortages with knock on effects that will ultimately also jeopardise lives - Devil you do, Devil you don't - a Catch 22 situation !!
There's going to be a lot to learn just by going through this but the blame game is dead easy to start choose whoever is in Governmental Power while those that sit on the fences watching can cast assertions at any time and who is to say if Labour, for example, were in Power would have had similar criticisms of how they were handling in how they were going about it - Fallibility is the preserve of everyone and for any decision being made - it's how you learn from it !
