But look at Russia invading Ukraine..! Be angry about that, not this.
Did flawed PCR tests convince us Covid was worse than it really was? Britain's entire response was based on results - but one scientist says they should have been axed a year ago

And many of those who were 'pinged' and forced to isolate as a contact of someone who tested positive – causing a huge strain on the economy – did so unnecessarily.
Such statements, it must be said, have been roundly dismissed by top experts. And those scientists willing to give credence such concerns have been shouted down on social media, accused of being 'Covid-deniers', and even sidelined by colleagues.
But could they have been right all along?
Today, in the first part of a major new series, The Mail on Sunday investigates whether 'the science' that The Government so often said they were following during the pandemic was flawed, at least in some respects.
In the coming weeks we will examine if Britain's stark Covid death figure was overblown. We will also ask if lockdowns did more harm than good.
But this week, we tackle the debate around Covid tests, and examine whether there is any truth to the claims that they were never fit for purpose.
Last month a report by the research charity Collateral Global and academics at Oxford University concluded as much, stating that as many as one third of all positive cases may not have been infectious.
If they are right, that's a potentially staggering number – roughly six million cases.
The Oxford scientists branded the UK's testing programme – which cost an eye-watering £2bn-a-month – as 'chaotic and wasteful'.
It is, say these critics, not simply important that we learn from our mistakes.
For while testing will now only be routine offered to patients when they come into hospitals, or in other clinical settings, and to the vulnerable, PCRs will still be used to track the spread of the virus in the community. And should there be a resurgence, that number will once again inform policy.
