Are We?.

Replying to @1daneman @michaelgove
Based on the current trajectory and our initial spread start then yes. However as with all projections nothing is definite until it's definite. Including deaths outside of hospitals would I fear make numbers even bleaker.

We aren't counting deaths outside of hospitals and we are weeks behind in the life span of the viral spread. My point was for a government to say everything was done perfectly is patently untrue given the death toll being projected. To say otherwise IS misinformation.

No one is saying things have been done perfectly, they followed the science, that is not the same thing WHO declared a high risk on the 28th February, a pandemic on the 11th March The NERVTAG minutes are in the public domain You think they should've locked down at low threat?

I think we should've been better prepared. I think stocks of PPE should have been maintained. I think over the past decade the NHS shouldn't have been hobbled. I think as the situation grew worse our PM shouldn't have been AWOL. I think this is the worse time for government spin.

You're wrong The UK was #2 in the 2019 pandemic preparedness index Everyones plan was for influenza This may not have been Corona, it might have been a contact spread - if the next pandemic is like ebola it needs completely different kit You are wielding hindsight as a weaponpic.twitter.com/baymE7MqQ2

So allowing PPE to dwindle and become ineffective was a good plan and only bad in hindsight? How about running down the NHS? A bad idea just in hindsight? You are defending the indefensible. Exact same situation but with a Labour government you'd be screaming blue murder!

No ones stock pile is going to last the whole pandemic, of course they have to replenish The NHS hasn't reached capacity yet which means we are in a much better place than Spain or Italy - so what is your point about the NHS?

They had to replenish very quickly because stocks hadn't been maintained which shows a clear lack of foresight. They are now scrambling to procure in a seller's market. The NHS was run down unjustifiably hence why fixing what they broke was a cornerstone of Tory manifesto.
