Simple, well to some. They knew 4 years ago that the NHS would not be well protected should there be a pandemic. Out of date PPE, lack of staff, and other equipment. Paint a pretty picture if you like the facts are there.
Can you find any of your posts from any of the last few years 2016-2019 teacake warning the goverment for not having enough PPE for the virus that you knew was imminent
Any goverment has a difficult choice between spending on things people are demanding like more spending on NHS operations and schools or spending on stocks of equipment and spare beds "just in case" for something that might happen every 50 years
