Moving the goalposts, are we? As expected.
We've seen a bunch of viral threats in my lifetime alone. Swine Flu, Foot and Mouth, Bird Flu, SARS, Ebola etc.
Do you honestly think a government has done a good job if they don't think 'hmm, other countries have been hit hard by viral outbreaks over the years, maybe we should be prepared just in case?' Pretty much all the governments that have been in power since I've been alive have failed in this regard but I'm guessing you'd only defend the blue governments.
The Government had advanced warnings about how bad it was going to be, they chose not to be prepared, they chose not to take preventative action, they originally chose pure inaction before the outrage corrected their course.
You can plug your ears and hold your eyes shut but the truth of the matter, for the most part, our government ****ed up.
