i mean, have some sympathy, easy to criticize from the cheap seats. (and yes, they are paid a lot, so what, decisionmaking under uncertainty is still hard)

in retrospect, LHL distancing himself from covid policy is pretty brilliant/convenient, as whoever proves a credible leader through this mess will have demonstrated the qualities we'd probably want for PM

Sympathy for _what/who_?

They implemented a unnecessary, ineffective lockdown for two months and a mandatory nationwide tracking system (which differs wildly from the open sourced version they published) without any published efficacy data, went back on their word regarding data collected (without any zero consequences) and will now be using that data for future “policing”.
