    The debates for past 8 weeks on face masks, optimizing testing & tracing, hand hygiene & border control are like watching a fire burning down a forest & firefighters turning their backs & squabbling on what to do. By the time a decision is made, the destruction is done.

        Germany seems to have done a good job of testing, tracking & tracing. Can't we just subcontract ours to them instead of to a load of posh bullshitting twats who don't know what they are doing???

        some countries did contract out some of the testing to them to plug gaps in their own processes.

        have you read the narrative of the Great Fire of London? Firefighters squabbling. "Demolishing the houses downwind of a dangerous fire was often an effective way of containing the destruction by means of firehooks or explosives. This time, however, demolition was fatally

        When I hear politicians speak - and even some of the experts- all I hear is numbers and actions, I don’t hear WHY they’re doing things, what’s their plan or how will they use technologies. Either they’re responding to latest outcry or they think they don’t need to talk to us

        Well, strangely enough, I finally found a strategy on the government’s publicity site BBC. The strategy makes sense, but ... we aren’t told how many tests a will be needed, so we can’t evaluate. There are still a worrying number of vague promises, so we can’t evaluate! Hmm 🤨
