Total guesses is the default for many on this forum so i dont really see any issue?

Another day and I still don't know your opinion on the handling of this crisis,it is not a guess that we didn't follow the path of the other countries and didn't test test test as WHO told us to do,that is fact,everything else comes from that decision

Who said labour would do better,i honestly must have missed those posts

So after reading most of the political threads including the brexit one it seems there’s a pattern emerging.
Everyone who doesn’t vote Conservative blames them for everything.
Everyone who votes Conservatives blames everyone but the Conservatives but are adamant that things would be worse under Labour.
Nobody it seems on either side is willing to give a little leeway and look at things objectively.
Being unwilling to point out your party of choice is in any way culpable for mistakes made kind of makes the whole political thread a waste of time. No inch is ever given. Which is a shame.

I am neither a Tory or a Labour voter. I've voted for both parties at one time or another.

I've not really criticised the Government up to now on this issue because when looking at countries with a similar demographic to ours we are doing remarkably similar to them (Germany excepted) and I don't believe we can make an accurate assessment of how well this has been handled for some time (I'm talking months, possibly years, not 12 weeks).

For the same reason you'll struggle to find a post of mine in which I defend our Government's approach to this crisis.

Where I have had a go at posters is where it's blindingly obvious that they are using this awful situation as political point scoring.

We are testing in ever increasing numbers.

let me ask you a question. How quickly do you think it is feasible to invent, manufacture, distribute, test nearly 70 Million citizens and evaluate results?

This isn't an argument it's just the automatic gainsaying of anything I say

No it isn't.

Interesting, will read it fully later.

I just can't believe he'd be giving speeches in February boasting about how we'd never lockdown while other countries panicked and boasting about shaking hands with COVID patients in March had he been to the meetings he should have attended.

For now, I'm a bit forgiving if the government for three reasons.

First, it's such a big undertaking to manage this whole thing, and mistakes are inevitable.

Second, we can compare to other countries but at this stage we'll only be able to judge to effectiveness of it when it's all over.

And third, when the government tells people to do something, I want them to listen, not ignore them because all they've heard is that the government don't know what they're doing.

Maybe putting too much trust in them, but what option do we have.

Just have to hope they get more decisions right than wrong.

And in time, it will be a hell of a review. And all these decisions and statements and strategies will need to be explained.
