Sorry you see it that way. I don't mean to be defensive.
I think I was the first on here, or at least among the first, to be critical of these particular scientists and their strategy. I was saying, IIRC, that I respect them and their offices, but that I thought the strategy was wrong.
You're right, of course, that pointing the finger at the government on here is ineffective. We're just having a chat. I'm just saying that I think they have made mistakes. That's what happens sometimes but it's more likely if you elect the wrong people.
And it's not like I'm only pointing the finger on here but otherwise sitting in my arse. I, like you, am proactively trying to help the shitty situation by making ppe for those who need it. But it is a disgrace that we are having to step up to do that when the warning signs have been there for a long time and the government fiddled with brexit while wuhan and then Rome burned.
I saw that Trump said we asked America for ventilators two days ago. I have not verified that by trawling through his dross but it sounds about par.
