I'm sorry I'm in my fourties, still functioning and while in Italy, France and Spain the virus was causing havoc, Downing street was still taking time to prepare an "adequate response" trying to "find a balance to not take Draconian measures"

We've all seen the consequences of their choices

At one point they also talked about "letting the virus spread through the entire population and take it on the chin"

Either Johnson believed it or not, he said it and people reacted to it.

Was it a communication problem?

Maybe

Was it a grave mistake

Yes, it was

I'm not ignoring anything BTW, I stayed home 94 consecutive days in Italy, so please don't try to teach me what it looks like to take responsibility for the sake of your community.

You may not be ignoring things with regard to Covid, but you're certainly ignoring context to misquote someone you don't like.
I think you're certainly ignoring facts because you don't like that UK handled covid crisis badly.

Get over it, the empire has fallen, UK is the ghost of what it once was and it's run by incompetents.

I don't have to dislike Johnson to know he is wrong,the numbers alone are enough to judge his actions.

Johnson said himself that "covid has been a disaster for UK" and it has left "the worst confirmed death toll in Europe" anyway.

He failed at protecting people and at the same time at protecting the economy.

If that's the best UK can do, it's really not that good...
