To save more lives, have better resources for back up to fight against COVID-19. Our goverment needs to take concrete steps, from a visual aspect there have been no strategic plan to combat this virus, and the steps taken have been too little too slow to say the least. Until ITALY's lockdown, airlines passengers from Italy were still flying in and out of UK with no tests being done at the borders, or any questions being asked.
