He's right on both counts. Media driving panic was very unelpful and the government were also unprepared. Also notef that the panic buying helped spread the virus.
Public statements of how unprepared the govt were and how much the NHS had been compromised at the time of his tweet would have drastically increased panic.
Those that turn a bling eye to what successive Tory governments have done to the NHS and the vulnerable will always turn a blind eye and forgive then. Referencing the above tweet does seem pretty desperate but I guess it is becoming ever more difficult to justify and excuse the apalling performance of this government.

Haven't seen it reported anywhere so where is the reference to panic buying spreading the virus any more than any other normal daily activity before the lockdown?
