Until December 2019, no one, other than the Chinese, knew of COVID 19. Globally, no country had time to stockpile ventilators etc. Who would have had warehouses full of what was needed just in case anyway. I don’t see how nations could prepare for something like this pandemic. Staff are trained in halting infectious spread etc. however, it was a learning curve from the start with this virus. The fact the Chinese Government were slow to notify the world what they were dealing with did not help and this was further complicated by Governments globally, failing to act quickly and leaving borders open to long which accelerated the spread globally.

Keir Starmer is the leader of the UK’s Labour Pary!
Scientists had been warning of a global pandemic for years.
Like Churchill they were voices in the wilderness. Government's don't like to invest in anything that costs money, people's lives are secondary.
This is why the death case's in this country are the worst in Europe despite the valiant efforts of our NHS teams.
It's also the reason that I don't believe the government is implenting the law's for the benefit of ordinary people.
