1. Deaths per million is an inconvenient truth for many of you - people are just choosing not to believe it, because they don't like the ugly truth.
2. The complete lack of action over Cheltenham was a joke. Zero leadership - Leo the lion and his cronies were sitting with their thumbs up their butts - terrified to make a decision. And we have undoubtedly paid a big price for that in subsequent infections.
3. Bullsh*t and you know it... they were dithering again on the paddy's day decision. The local towns made their own minds up, and cancelled themselves. Again, zero leadership skills displayed.
4. Nursing homes a mistake? Try a MASSIVE CALAMITY... which has accounted for more than half our total deaths! And we were warned in advance from other countries - but again sat with fingers up butts until it evolved into a huge problem... Again, complete lack of leadership. (And more worryingly - complete lack of professional competence from our so-called "expert" CMO advising the "guuberment")
5. We're still not supplying adequate PPE now... I wouldn't be holding my breath that we'll get this completely sorted at any point. Disaster! (Baring in mind there are several PPE suppliers shipping their goods out of this country to other nations - while we are buying cheap crap from China - this just compounds the ridiculousness of the situation)
6. There is something called clear and strong leadership from elected officials... but again I won't be holding my breath waiting for this from Leo and the gang. They are followers not leaders. Slavishly going along with whatever the WHO says, despite that particular organisation making multiple screw-ups themselves!
7. Our testing has been laughable... I'm not even going to bother responding to your piss-poor attempt at defending it. We all know how rubbish our attempt at a testing regime has been. Amateurish, like practically everything else we've been doing throughout this crisis!
