Totally.
Lack of leadership on the way in, lack of leadership on the way out.
According to my vaguely conservative colleague New Zealand is non-comparable with the UK. I asked how-so? Our economy, culture and societies are pretty similar in character. “We have Americans, Irish and all sorts flying in, there’s nothing that could be done” ...

How are the NZ and UK economies comparable?
I think it's fair to say that a small nation of islands in the Pacific with a population about half the size of London, a population density which is a fraction of the UKs (let alone London's), and which has no where near as much international travel going to or through it, is not comparable.
I am very much not a conservative.
I really hope so.
There was some discussion that some countries were just preventing the inevitable e.g. New Zealand, South Korea. If there isn't a second wave, is there a chance countries that prepared properly and stoped the spread from the start will never see a wave if the virus mutates to a less deadly strain? That would almost make our governments failings even worse.
