Answer:
The fight against COVID-19 has launched a thousand military metaphors in the British press. The “greatest challenge since the Second World War”, “the frontline”, the virus is an “invisible enemy”, and so forth. Us citizens feel besieged and under threat as we retreat to our foxholes.
If this is a war, how is Britain doing? The frontline troops are running out of protective gear (PPE), ammunition (beds) and heavy equipment (ventilators). Supply lines are stretched thin. Meanwhile, the country’s leadership – the prime minister, secretary of state for health and the chief medical officer – are self-isolated in their bunkers where they cannot be functioning at 100%.The enemy moves among us unseen. In the fog of war, we are relying on case counts to track its movements – as if the Royal Observer Corps are spotting planes and calling in their locations. We should have radar to look over the horizon (routine testing for the virus) to tell us where it is massing and will strike next.
The phoney war is over – the Battle for Britain is well under way.
What do we need? We need the PPE and ventilators to reach the troops at the right time. But we also need reliable intelligence on the enemy’s movements – we need to be able to test for the virus, and to test for past infection and current presumed immunity. We need these tests at the front line to work out who should be, and who should not be, in the trenches. We need the tests for the civilian army – to decide who can safely supply the elderly and infirm, staff the nursing and care homes, who can “dig on for victory” by maintaining the chain of food and essentials, and who should continue to isolate at home.
