This made me think of one of Beachcomber's attention catching headlines
"Coach and forty horses stuck in chimney!"
The following article began "The event to which the above headline refers has yet to occurs, however...." before going on to something utterly unrelated to coaches, horses or chimneys.
In this case, the event actually HAS occurred, and then some, as 1,500 is thought to be a significant underestimate. Nor is it an attempt at humour. When you think of it, the cabinet the result of the Eton - Oxbridge education system, arguably the best British education system and undoubtedly the most expensive in the country, has been humbled and utterly defeated in strategic thinking by a brainless, mindless chemical molecule, the covid-19 virus.
I suspect a sharper set of knives might have done better, by formulating a clear long term plan to contain the bug, understood and followed willingly be the electorate because it makes sense. Instead we've ha a series of ad-hoc panic knee-jerk reactions to events almost always too late and always abandoned too early, about turns and major policy changes and incessant turd polishing from the PM.
It is hard not to despair sometimes.
