reason is that we have had a decade of appalling austerity that has absolutely shredded our public health systemour systems, our health system has had the least increases in funds in the last decade since it was founded in 1948. our public health system has been absolutely decimated because it has been put in the hands of local authorities who have had 40% of the funds ta ken away. authorities who have had 40% of the funds taken away. this virus could not have hit this country at any time when the public sector, the public services that we rely on, have been so weak. as a result, as eunice was saying, turning to private sector companies at the last minute to hope that they cannot fix it for us at. the countries that have done well have very strong public services. of course, those who would defend the government would say, hang on, you‘ve got to ta ke would say, hang on, you‘ve got to take a longer view on the death toll numbers, because for example, look at sweden‘s numbers now, they do seem to be better than some of the other comparators. of course, the key question of whether you have immunit
