Govt 'lost a crucial five weeks' to tackle threat of Coronavirus
By Tunde Olorungbotemi
The UK lost a crucial five weeks despite being in a "perilously poor state of preparation", VAM News had gathered.
The government's early response to the coronavirus has been criticised by a Sunday newspaper
The government missed a series of opportunities to lessen the impact of the coronavirus in February and March, it is being claimed.
According to an investigation by The Sunday Times, dire warnings were ignored from scientists - and the UK lost "a crucial five weeks in the fight to tackle the dangerous threat of coronavirus despite being in a perilously poor state of preparation for a pandemic".
Government whistleblowers, scientists and emergency planners have alleged there was a complacency at the heart of government in late January and February when it should have been urgently replenishing stockpiles.
The newspaper says Boris Johnson missed five of the government's key COBRA meetings as the COVID-19 crisis gathered pace.
