New Zealand’s death rate is 0.2 per million of population. The UK has/d a death rate of 105 per million.

These figures are staggering. I can’t understand why the fact of them, & how we got here despite warning, aren’t screaming headlines, & probing searching questions of the govt.
As this report on care homes shows, ministers are likely to be considerably underestimating the impact of Covid-19 on society’ most frail.

Encapsulated here. Questions need to be asked to ensure the health and safety of those we love, and that of our society.
Transparency is absolutely critical. So scrutiny is vital, not to point score but to protect as best we can for today and the future.

A great list of important questions to govt from @campbellclaret, that should be asked by MPs too. Parliament needs to be returned, remote ways of scrutiny found so MPs can keep the govt accountable and transparent. It’s not partisan, it’s saving lives.
