The most important time was wasted before now. We had a few weeks to be proactive in tracing and eliminating spread. A lot of time is now being used covering for that decision.
Squaredisk-
I don't think we will know if a good / bad / unacceptable job was done on this until the inevitable inquest and that's much further down the line.
But sure, if you want agony on agony just hope that Boris is out of the picture for months or dies. My opinion is that in this unprecedented crisis, someone with some brains and a smattering of political legitimacy at the controls is probably better than the alternatives. Yes, that's going to be unpopular here. I can take it. Hnnnngggg.
Howard
He is where the various factions focus their power. And he has (some) legitimacy with some of the electorate. Again, sorry if you do not like that, I do not like it much either. If he was to go, precious time would be wasted as that power is realigned. It is not something we need right now.
All that before what it might say for our country's ability to function in this new world we find ourselves in, should it turn out that our PM both gets it and gets incapacitated by it despite all the resources thrown at him to make sure he pulls through.
