If only we'd started to care about evidence, truth, and data before aeroplanes started to fall out of the sky. Who needs regulation eh?

A stitch in time saves nine.

Sticky plaster on cloth hides problems.

Govs must take action. Action is not focus grouping poor lockdown measures.

Or extending autocratic fines and restrictions without identifying cause

They failed on test, track and trace. Now you're to blame.

Then, of course, the problem is if we don't identify the real issue, we continue not to solve it.

Did you ever see the movie Contact?

Where they found no evidence, she'd gone anywhere at all in that big metal ball.

Except for hours of static recorded in micro seconds?

Johnson claims we lead Europe in test, track and trace.

But here's the thing. If we do, why is #covid19 growing again at an exponential rate?

Why is that rate what we'd expect from TT&T failure?

But those are just the small lies. What about the real #CrimesAgainstHumanity stuff?

We have a large amount of evidence that targeted public health interventions better control viral spread. Detail helps. Like detective work.

And that's how we stopped SARS AND MERS.

Now cancel local TT&T, relaunch centrally, exclude local information and powers, relax central controls, hold no Cobra coordination.

Then mendaciously report the problem as local control failure.

Political Freedom of speech?
Or a scientific fraud which adds unnecessary death?
