congrats undertaker you literally just strawmanned me and then finished it off with some fake example that nobody has suggested. i never suggested we should have had thousands of ventilators waiting, but our means of acquiring them and lots of other medical equipment has been poor. the protection the NHS nurses have at the moment is not fit for purpose and the fact theyre not being tested is even worse. they know it too since theyre padding out by saying "100k tests a week" which most people will think is testing if someone has coronavirus, which it is not quite true.
lets also not forget that the initial government advice was to just take it on the chin and basically advocated herd immunity which would have resulted in the deaths of so many more people. it took 19 days to go from that to lockdown
