Not really sure if you follow the point. I'm not looking to change the government.
The government should be challenged and questioned by the public and other political leaders, if there is justification.
What the opposition parties shouldn't be doing is politicising the issue.
There is a difference, they have a right to make constructive criticisms or suggestions - but they shouldn't be making political capital out of this crisis (and I don't think anyone is). Equally the government and their advisors should be receptive and listen.
Until yesterday, by the governments own predictions, we were on course for 260,000 deaths with beds overwhelmed by 8 to 1. That's why the government were getting heavily criticised.
