1/8 In case you missed it, this week I took part in a #COVID19LessonsLearnt panel for @CommonsHealth & @CommonsSTC about the impact on people from BAME backgrounds.

2/8 The excellent @IainBellONS explained how socioeconomic factors account for much of the disproportionate impact on ethnic minorities: high risk occupations/less likely to work from home, living in multi-generational households, densely populated urban living, deprivation.
3/8 See the recent report from @ONS on ethnic contrasts in deaths involving #COVID19 for more analysis ➡️ tinyurl.com/yy4xy2q6

@devisridhar says it's clear that the UK has experienced more deaths from the pandemic and that much of this results from early decisions to treat the pandemic like flu, rather than treating it like a SARS-like event
@devisridhar welcomes the development of mass testing but says it has to go with a sustainable strategy made up of test, trace and isolate, very good communication with the public, and border measures to prevent importing of infections
Our next #COVID19LessonsLearnt session with @CommonsSTC is starting soon. We'll be discussing test, trace and isolate.

@profchrisham says the difficulty we've had with contact tracing is that the Government has built a test, trace and isolate system too biased towards the national level, and was too late in providing resources and staff at the local level where most of the effective work happens
He adds that there has been a shift from the national to local but it's been too slow, and if the Government had moved more quickly over the summer to shift contact tracing locally, we'd be in a better place now #COVID19LessonsLearnt
