It seems there can never be a
single view on anything in this life – and even the coronavirus has its two
sides. There are those who
support the government’s handling and those who criticise
it (that’s to say, almost anyone from the opposition). All good fun, but do
we really need a fifth column at this moment to weaken our democracy? There’ll
be time enough, once this is over, to hold the government to account. Remember,
too, that no one has ever faced this kind of emergency in living memory and we
must learn as we go. Would the opposition do a better job? Maybe, maybe not.
Let us hope that we never need to find the answer to that particular question.
