There have been a few snippity remarks today around people criticising too much.
I applaud the governement for what they have achieved with nightingale. It’s a well done from me.
However, we can’t let this achievement shy away from the fact that NHS staff still don’t have adequate PPE and our testing remains woeful.
Equally, we still see different figures published on the tracker and official PHE figure. These are the basics that we need to get right.
Testing is a MASSIVE concern. This is one area where the inadequate governmental, woeful lack of preparation cannot be papered over, nor a can a rearguard action be effectively fought rapidly.
Germany is conducting 500,000 tests a week, we managed about 35,000 last week.
The UK government is putting peoples lives at risk with its Pathetic response in the most VITAL of areas which is a consequence of being way too late out of the blocks for a scarce resource.
