Exactly.
The Chiefs are political appointments, loads of money but no experience.

The virus is not going to wait while MP's vote on what steps to take next!!!. The government has to move fast with it's decision making because the virus moves fast amongst the public and when you have a public who for a medium part refuse to adhere to social distancing and as a result virus infections increase, the government need to act immediately to stop these people from behaving irresponsibly and if that means making decisions without MP's getting as vote, then so be it.

Good for the speaker. It's currently an absolute shambles, mixed messages, misinformation, un-coordinated and disjointed. Of course the Government policies should be voted on. Good government management of covid = good economic and health outcomes.There's no excuse. They have had months to sort out an organised approach. Everyone said there would be a second wave. Kneejerk policies and slapdash strategy abound. We are not in March we are in September. Seems like "let's worry about this tomorrow" thinking when things are not in disaster mode. No planning ahead.

Yesterday and today and today over 7,000 new (registered) cases have been recorded (probably nearer to 10,000 (including unregistered) according to ONS estimates) - that's more than any day in the "first wave" of March/April/May - over 1000 schools and 52 universities are in some sort of lockdown, as is most of Wales, the North of England and Central Scotland ......
Track, Test and Trace (an utter shambles) is run by ex-Sainsbury executives, Dido Harding and Mike Coupe, with an ex-Sainsbury manager and an ex-Waitrose digital director - there is no prospect of a nationwide testing program for the foreseeable future .....

What can't be accurately predicted can not be managed with a fixed program.

Only today Laura K asked Boris how he was going to ensure that people obeyed the rules, how he was going to implement the policies. He completely sidestepped and ignored that question. He mentioned big fines but he did not answer questions on how these were going to be imposed without adequate police or other resources. It's half baked and the trouble is that it's also a terrible waste of public money if it doesn't work.
Of course this approach should be scrutinised in Parliament. It's been going on for months.
