We can discuss the politics and the politicians involved in all of this but we must also look into the public service and how well that is performing in terms of systems, people and technology in place to discharge its responsibilities, in this case manage a pandemic. I firmly believe it is sadly lacking and the problems we have witnessed are systemic. Politicians should be focused on sorting them out as well as managing the current crisis and we, the public, should be kept fully informed and not lied to.
The trouble is the politicians know where the bread gets buttered, the bureaucracy can make life easy or hard for them so the politicians are compliant and pretty much toothless in dealing with them, the Yes Minister or The Thick of It joke isn't such a joke at all!
Unfortunately, the general public tend to lump the medical professionals in with the bureaucracy that runs health, so as the disdain for the decision making grows so does the distrust in the medical professionals which is largely an unwarranted correlation.
