We will never forget the fear that caring for patients with #COVID in DIY PPE engendered & knowing that govt decisions over PPE contracts denied 1000s of us adequate protection is particularly disturbing.
Have you really forgotten the weekly claps of 2020?

Our friends/colleagues & loved ones died in their 1000s from COVID, because of COVID & as a result of a very poor UK government pandemic response & countless extremely bad decisions…

Today #DominicCummings will give evidence to parliament. This is what you don’t know. The revelation that he was sitting on SAGE had many consequences. This was one of them

Still lack of checks at airports. We know about Brazilian & S.African variants so why not close off the air corridors?

Ystdy, @YvetteCooperMP asked the PM what the govt are doing to stop new S.African variant spreading in the UK.
Why have people been able to travel from SA to UK for last 4wks without being tested & can go on public transport.
@BorisJohnson didn’t know!

“Oh god!”
Questioned about his govt’s repeated inexplicable failures to try & control #COVID19 at airports & lack of action to protect the UK from a new Brazilian variant of #coronavirus @BorisJohnson appeared to mutter “oh god” under his breath.

The PM, #BorisJohnson, also says at the start of his answer👆
“Just to repeat, schools are safe” on the same day he just introduced a new #lockdown & shut down schools because they’re not safe.

#BorisJohnson makes clear his strategy is sometimes to PRETEND not to know what's going on so that when he ACTUALLY doesn’t know, people won’t be able to tell the difference
The trouble is that we can ALL tell
Is the #BumblingStrategy really govt policy?

In March, I asked why the director of a UK company making PPE were exporting all over the world but hadn’t had orders from the UK
NHS frontline staff were dying
Were million pound contracts being held back to give to govt-linked companies that had no PPE procurement background?

“There were no gowns, visors, swabs or body bags in the govt’s pandemic stockpile when #Covid19 hit UK.”
“The govt ignored warnings from advisers about shortages.”
“NHS staff are being put at risk because of the shortage of PPE.”

In April, @Channel4News has seen the inventory of the UK govt’s pandemic PPE stockpile. Almost 80% of respirators were out of date when #coronavirus hit.
The UK had had a three month head start to prepare for #COVID19
Covid wasn’t an “invisible mugger”

The #HerdImmunityScandal in four @DailyMailUK frontpage headlines
The #HerdImmunityScandal is the overarching scandal which all the other scandals (the #TestingScandal, #CareHomeScandal, #AppScandal, #ScreeningScandal, #LockdownFatigueScandal, #PPEScandal etc. - are all part of.
The BIG question is what is their goal?
The BIG question is what is their goal?
#HerdImmunity is merely the strategy.
As journalist @sarahkendzior puts it: "[They're] covering up crime with scandal & covering up malice with incompetence. They want to project an image of being inept, instead of as having a cruel & well-defined plan.”

1). Patrick Vallance tells the @CommonsSTC that SAGE advised the govt to impose lockdown measures “as soon as possible” “on the 18th or 16th of March, I can’t remember”
Remarkable that he doesn’t recall the date.
He fails to explain why the govt wait a week before locking down?

2). Professor @JeremyFarrar, who is a member of SAGE, does remember.
He has just clarified that on 13 March - with #COVID infections doubling every 2-3 days - SAGE decided a lockdown was needed.
They advised the govt of this on 16 March.
UK locked down on 23 March.

3/. On 10/6, @neil_ferguson who did the modelling presented on 16 March, said locking down a week earlier could have saved 20,000 lives.
Modeller, Prof Edmunds, told #Marr: “We should have gone into lockdown earlier…I think that has cost a lot of lives.”

This graph shows UK, where there were 155 deaths ystdy.
Of these, 154 of them were in England.
This isn't bad luck or incompetence.
It's down to the #CareHomeScandal, #TestingScandal, #PPEScandal etc.
ALL of which are part of the #HerdImmunityScandal

1/. The Dutch strategy for dealing with #coronavirus mirrors that being attempted by @BorisJohnson’s govt & is described as “a masterclass in framing & gaslighting.”
But in recent days, leaks & good journalism are exposing the Dutch #HerdImmunityScandal.

2/. On 16 March, PM Rutte gave a National Address.
He did not talk about suppressing #COVD19 as most countries were doing, but he did mention #HerdImmunity.
On 4 June, the PM said: “I did not make a speech about herd immunity. I have no knowledge of it.”

3/. Calculations that without suppression measures, 100,000 people could die, saw the govt shifting its description of #HerdImmunity from a “strategy” to an “outcome”.
Yet spokespeople still talked about “allowing #COVID19 to spread through the populace”.
