Dept of Health reply to Sunday Times trashing

Here in Wales the Welsh Government didn’t ban the Stereophonics concerts 14/15 March at Cardiff and the majority of 584 deaths in Wales (571 in fact) are in the SE area. So shall we blame Labour for that?

Without looking too hard it's easy to point out evidence that the government did not act in a timely manner. Eg refusing to cancel sports events, not adhering to its own social distancing guidelines, ignoring most evidence until driven by social media etc etc

The rebuttal was put out by the government press office. It would have been better if an independent body had counteracted the Sunday Times Article.

MawB8 I don't think that one can call the Sunday Times a "sensational tabloid"

Thank you.
Whether or not there have been failings, it is good to get the facts “from the horse’s mouth” and not via sensationalist tabloid or social media Chinese whispers.
