Or even, perish the thought, an open enquiry into every aspect of the problems and shortcomings exposed by the pandemic. Why were we unprepared, were we unprepared compared to other countries, what were the physical, environmental, climatic, demographic and medical conditions which meant that its effects differed from other countries. These are all issues which need to be examined. Perhaps it could concentrate on what led to the pandemic, how we reacted as a nation, and what lessons could be learned. Once that has been covered, I'm sure that you can have a couple of days to shout at Boris and the Tories!

I'll answer it for you now. Sheer incompetance. 

We haven't got an idiot recommending injecting ourselves with disinfectant but we are not far off. The WHO declares C19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (the highest alert it can issue) on the 30th January which in turn has procedures and recommendations that should be adhered to (https://www.who.int/ihr/procedures/pheic/en/). These were ignored. All through February, numbers kept climbing with Italy closing towns by the end of February. Boris went to England v Wales rugby match at Twickenham on 7 March. The WHO declared Covid a pandemic on the 11th March but it still took Boris and the Tories until the 18 March to announce the closure of all schools until further noticed, with pubs and restaurants ordered to shut on 20 March. Everything since then has just been one bad judgement and phony excuse after the other. It's an absolute debacle which in normal/better times would should have ensured Boris's resignation.

He's just lucky he's got Trump taking all the clown flack.

I may just as well have posted in Swahili 

If you meant something else then say so. Your post says '20k died with the virus rather than from it', well doh............ the point is how many years could they have lived if it wasn't for Covid. I'm guessing..................more.

Welcome back to Boris and good to see he’s totally recovered. 
 

He’s got some work to do, but I sense that the UK is up to the task despite a  very poor start.
