I am not disputing that the majority of Doctors wouldn't know how to diagnose the problem, but the Government knew that the patients were Sergey Skrypal and his daughter Yulia. They would no doubt have looked into that.
In addition, all Doctors are fairly astute people, and would have taken steps to report the symptoms to the Government and the Government would have done whatever it is they needed to do.
In the UK and Australia, even a normal death can be scrutinized closely by the coroner. Sometimes, relatives do not get the body for up to 2 weeks because the Government is conducting autopsies. And this is with zero suspicion sometimes. Especially if the person is reasonably young. They look into everything.
Sergey wasn't just anyone.
No matter how astute the Doctors might be there's no way to distinguish the symptoms of a nerve agent poisoning from any other type of poisoning, when the victim is unconscious. So your assumption that they reported the symptoms to the Government and then based on those symptoms the Govnt did what they had to do cannot be true.
I agree with you that they knew who the victims were all along.
I am ready to accept that the Government called in specialists based on suspicion and probably based on the fact that other Russians in the UK were poisoned in strange ways in the past.
Now whether those specialists finally discovered a nerve agent poisoning or not, and were able to confirm it beyond any reasonable doubt 3 days after the event, is another story.
No you are making some pretty big assumptions here.
Something of this magnitude would have already involved Britain's MI5 and MI6 as well as CIA and NSA. The alarm bells would have been triggered immediately and the authorities would have suspected foul play straight away. And we are assuming they had no intelligence because the UK Prime Minister said that there were intercepts from Agios Nikolaos in Cyprus which verify Russian complicity or involvement.
From there, the Government would have bought in all their leading Chemical and Poisons Experts from anywhere is the world if necessary. They would have been suspicious of Russian involvement from the beginning and they would have done all kinds of tests including radiation.
No cost would have been spared. they would have had the best people working on this from the beginning.
As you may notice the sooo organized "west" cannot even make up a proper lie.
