As for the media's coverage of PPE shortages, surely that is in the hands of the NHS' own supplier to arrange and not in the purview of micro-managing Ministers.
No-one can predict how the virus will progress, we can but take best efforts on the advice of experts. And they may well be lauded and congratulated at a future date or excoriated.
We live currently in a democracy and some of the measures that have had to be adopted are draconian and unfriendly, but necessary to restrict the viral spread. So we have to live with it and media coverage needs to accept this.
I do question why the news media is seemingly given free rein to roam around and sometimes adopt critical reporting stances.

Austerity wasn't a vicious Tory measure against the people. The EU have demanded that nations abide by the Stability Growth Pact and keep deficits to less than 3%. That debt levels be circa 60%. This restricts govermental spending.
Remaining in the EU means yielding our controls to the EU Commission, an unelected and unaccountable body that sets policy and advances legislation. Legislation that the nodding donkeys in the EU Parliament pass, as little time is allocated to debate. Westminster then passes this without debate as they are a dictat. And I believe, that some 60% of Parliamentary Acts are EU derived.
The electorate is not foolish, many understand the trade offs with EU membership, the detail just needs to be shouted out.
This election may reflect Thatcher's election victory, party boundaries being crossed to achieve an end. Who in their right minds would vote for Magic Grandad and his team of ultra-leftists, or Swinson and her overt rejection of the demos.

I despair that a Tory government is at the forefront of authoritarianism, and doing so only to curry favour with the shouty metropolitan elites who will vote Labour. Indeed, even the EU has attempted to control the dissemination of information.
The porn pass is not going to work, you are reliant on the porn sites actually wanting to comply with UK laws when they are domiciled overseas, (many in Cyprus).
There are far more serious issues to address, such as knife crime and fraud generally, along with the pernicious Agit-Prop that the left has launched to include young children.
