Cygnus warned us.
Intelligence reports warned us.
Scientists warned us
WHO warned us.
Italy gave us a graphic warning.
It is a time for honesty, transparency & for unity.
There are massive decisions facing our country in the coming weeks.
We need sober leadship, responsible journalism and all our best scientists around the top table.
