As I have written before, it is not the government's fault that this is happening, and whether the response has been adequate is a matter of debate.
In my, and a lot of proper scientist's view it isn't with the chap responsible for the infectious diseases as recently as 12 days ago stating that people should go about their business as normal including booking holidays etc, and the 'herd immunity' ruse was non-sense too.
But what can be squarely laid at the government's feet is that the NHS is woefully under resourced ba far and that is not me saying that alone; Jeremy Hunt who for the largest part of the decade that the Tories have been in power was responsible for that mismanagement has admitted that himself last week.
That mismanagement will cost extra lives.
