One of the great things about the human experience is 20/20 hindsight, which we all have.
We can sit at our keyboards and look down on those who make decisions and wonder why they didn't do this or that, based on what we - including them - now know has turned out as a result of doing or not doing something.
Fortunately, the PM does not have the time to wonder what every keyboard numpty is busy doing judging him with that hindsight, he has more important things to do.
Come to think of it, said keyboard numpties aside - so do all the rest of us.

As has been previously mentioned - the PM doesn't normally chair COBRA meetings. Looking back, perhaps he should, but that's the value of hindsight. If we all knew then, what we know now - maybe alot of difference choices would've been made.
Sidebar - you're perfectly free to try and score political points. It's the backbone of the News section on AB.

Exactly - these meetings were before he was ill. He issued the command for an "emergemcy" Cobra meeting on a Thursday for the following Monday - what sense of real urgency did that give and was that one of the ones he didn't attend - god knows but he wasn't doing a good job before he was ill and his stand-ins (apart from Rishi) have been abominably inept.
Boris was engaged in much more important matters....Matters that will be having an impact on Britain when a bit of a virus is but a minor footnote in the history books. He was busy telling the EUSSR to get stuffed and that Britain, categorically, will not ask for an extension to the Brexit transition period, nor will it grant the EU an extension if it asks. The mentally ill Remainiacs, of course, have done their worst to try to take advantage of this little medical blip and delay further our rebirth. A re-invigorated Prime Minister coupled with a re-invigorated Free Britain will be an unstoppable force of nature.
sp1814, the point was that though a PM wouldn't normally have to chair Cobra meetings, they customarily do so during emergencies. Some would have thought during February (when the meetings were missed) that coronavirus constituted an emergency but the government doesn't seem to have thought so until March.
The Sunday Times quoted an (unnamed) adviser as saying Boris didn't do weekends.
