Everyone does yes but it is repeating the same mistakes again and again without learning lessons that result in many deaths that is inexcusable.

Perhaps, but the U.K. is one of the most multicultural places on the planet. During the first breakout I think we had over 120,000 Chinese students in the U.K., the second highest number of over 25,000 was from India. I cannot even imagine the numbers from the Indian sub continent living in the U.K. The U.K. by its very nature has many people from everywhere on the globe concentrated in one of the most densely populated countries on the planet. We were always going to get hit and hard. However, I would still put up the U.K. response to Covid against most other countries in the world. The U.K. has made loads of mistakes, as has everyone, but I’d rather be living here right now than in any other country.......

Doesn’t that kinda highlight how negligent the UK have been in considering foreign travel controls? And the makeup of the UK doesn’t even begin to explain obvious farcical decisions like kids going back to school for one day in January.

US is pretty darn multicultural too, think it a rather poor explantion for the many mistakes US government, both federal and state, have made.

hahahaha.......and what exactly did he suggest or promote during the early stages....

Using the private sector including our Universities and pharmaceutical giants to help with testing, and using the facilities of our private hospitals including their ventilators and ICU capabilities.

He suggested these to Hancock in a live Question Time show early in the pandemic, in which it was clear that he had a better understanding of our medical system than Hancock did.

Both of these suggestions were taken up by the incumbent secretary of state for health almost immediately.

I know it isn't difficult to upstage Matt Hancock Pete, but I do recall thinking at the time that Burnham was the first politician I had seen from any of the opposition parties so come up with anything remotely constructive.
