On sky news one of the medical advisors said that about 7 million pieces of PPE were needed EVERY single day. How the hell do you think any government could magic that up!!! I wonder how many, of all those here who are eager to criticise, have ever put themselves forward for any national political position-it's open to all, you know- with or without practising your smirk!

They knew about it in 2017. They chose to ignore it.

The UK missed three chances to be part of an EU scheme to bulk-buy personal protective equipment (PPE) for health workers, according to reports.
Britain failed to utilise opportunities to get items such as masks, gowns and gloves under an EU initiative, the Guardian stated.
The availability of PPE has been a major issue in the coronavirus outbreak.
European medical staff are set to receive the first of £1.3 billion-worth of PPE within days or a maximum of two weeks under the EU scheme involving 25 countries, according to the Guardian.
