Care home provider saying she was a fool for listening to government advice not to stockpile PPE in Feb because now her residents and staff are dying. |  |

Personally I don't think it was viable to have locked down sooner, the public weren't ready for it IMHO.
In hindsight (great isn't it) Goodwood and Anfield should have been pulled and I thought this at the time. Pubs could probably have been closed a week or even two earlier, I certainly abstained from them and was in dismay when I saw the amount of people still going.
Everyone has an opinion which is fair enough but I just get annoyed at all the experts piping up, it's like a nuclear Brexit.
I honestly think that the current death rate is nothing to what it's going to be, it's going to be a hell of a cull. Mind you the death rate is still just a blip on usual annual deaths, this week last year 12,788 people died in England and Wales.
The care home thing is a big problem and I would say pretty much unstoppable. It's tragic, especially for the relatives who can't visit them. Some care homes are doing as well as they can with their residents but I can imagine some are like hell on earth. |
Certainly the thing that would save the government is if there are second and third waves which require rolling lockdowns and globally the death toll gets seriously big.
If this were the case, the fact that our current death toll is much higher than is necessary because we delayed deploying measures would then be inconsequential. [Post edited 15 Apr 2020 18:47]

I've had a look now and think you've been a bit harsh on me too!
The company Direct Access was good enough to fool the local MP into backing them too, so I don't think it's wrong of me to link to the story. It was also mentioned in Callis's FT link, so more credence there, so i think you're a bit quick to call fake news. Were the Cabinet Office wrong to send him an apology?!
Also, just because the guy has business failures behind him, does that mean he's crap now?
Apart from that, it looks like they were the middle guys - what about Topland (who look like the actual suppliers? Are they also crap and lying too?
Could be - I can't see what site you've used to check it out, but all told, I reject your disaproval (with a smile)! [Post edited 15 Apr 2020 18:53]

He wasn’t the only business. There were a few I read about. |  |

I don't think it's fully fair to call it 'hindsight' when many of the problems we're now seeing in 2020 were identified in 2016 by a government pandemic simulation. |
Hell, they were identified in 2009 with Swine Flu. |  |

The trouble with humans is that we don't really think that a pandemic like this will really happen yet at the same time we all secretly think we are going to win the lottery. |  |
