In a chink of light, university labs are saying they're ready to step in to help massively increase testing, and companies are offering the relevant products. Germany's decentralised approach has certainly helped (why I've lamented the '70s local govt reforms that destroyed our old independent public health departments).The gvt fucked it right up. Shows they cannot govern, only throw out slogans. They cannot catch up with testing now as the infrastructure is not there to do it and the whole world is now competing for the available resources to do it with.
They look more and more incompetent by the hour and this cannot be blagged as per their usual MO. I'm no expert by any means but everything I have read points to mass testing as being a very basic requirement for managing this epidemic and they're failing.
Reports of lack of ppe in hospitals are consistent and disgusting, yet all they do is parrot out pre-prepared lines on numbers of items issued,with no context.
It doesn't wash and even the tory press are now questioning their competance. These tory shits have always wanted their Battle of Britain legacy and now they have one are fucking it up big time. Guess what , it's not so easy to manage is it you fucks.
Greatest block ATM appears to be policy, and the pressure to change that is ferocious.
Churchill's catalogue of errors is legendary, but at least he was willing to change course when it went wrong, fire advisors when they messed up, and for all his ranting, take criticism onboard. Frozen Johnson's the anti-Churchill.
