this current situation is largely of the government's own making. Really? I thought it started in China?
No, I said the current situation, not the origin of the disease; there's a difference. The current situation in the UK is
36,393 deaths and more than a quarter of a million infections compared to say, Kerala in India, with a population of 35 million which has had
4 deaths and a mere 524 infections.
Hindsight as they say is a wonderful thing and whereas the Labour opposition is now asking questions they were totally silent back in the early days of the spread of the virus.
Well, the Labour party had Corbyn nominally in charge back then; Starmer only took over in April, so I think your argument is a bit specious.
But you're making a big mistake by attempting to politicise this; this is not about political parties. It's about individuals and how those individual have contributed to
the largest death toll in Europe and the second largest in the world. And yes; the Tories have routinely espoused the values of private health care, elimination of immigrant, on which the NHS heavily depends, leaving the EU, which is where many of our Doctors and Nurses came from and generally keeping wages and resources as low as possible in the service which is now struggling to cope.
Now that is political.
Pointing out how so many individuals have dealt with this crisis so incredibly badly is, however, called democracy.
