We are still far from the peak of the coronavirus and the death toll is rising in the UK. The rows still go on. Not enough NHS staff have got proper PPE and this is still a big shortage of ventilators. There is a lack of testing. The government have failed but are likely to blame the public for still going out in numbers after restrictions and 'lockdown' was introduced. Not enough is being done to help the self-employed and there is a massive queue of people waiting to claim universal credit. There has been a much better situation in Germany where they have better medical facilities and a lot more testing.
