Long view on response to ST article today.
1) COBR - biggest crisis in 100 years. Declared PHEIC on 30th Jan. So PM misses 1st even 2nd one. Understandable but 5? Not attending until 3rd March. He then claimed shaking hands with CV patients in Kettering. He didnt get the severity

3) Nervtagg and threat level
So you agree on 10th Feb you knew how serious the threat was then surely you would expect the PM to start chairing the COBR meetings at that point? Why didnt he?

4) Cygnus
You only answer around bringing retirees back and death planning.
So what did the report recommend on PPE and Ventilators?

5) Scientific Concensus
If there was conflicting advice who did you follow and why?
Why ignore the others e.g. Dr Mike Ryan at WHO
Was there collaboration with other countries in regards to response. You could see what was happening in Italy then why go your own route?

6) Lack of grip
Why did you delay lockdown after 12th March?
You say you followed scientific advice but you also said that was conflicting. So why choose the particular advice?
Is it not govt role to lead & make decisions especially when conflicting advice?

7) PPE
On the 23rd Jan in parliament Matt Hancock Health Secretary stated we had adequate PPE.
Yet in your response you say that first meeting to discuss wasnt held until 27th Jan? How did he know there was adequate supplies?

8) Failure of leadership
The response comes across as a request to tell us who the whistleblower is please!
It is notable that there is no response in regards to failure of leadership.
Therefore has the leadership failed by not taking seriously or acting quickly enough?
