Everywhere you look, not only has COVID19(84) exacted its most terrible toll almost exclusively on the very old and chronically sick, but care home deaths represent a high proportion of those, whether thru’ unconscionable negligence or active discharge of hospital patients thence

And this despite the fact that these avoidable ‘casualties’ have been obvious and widely documented.
Are they victims of the fetishization of Health services (“Our” #NHS) -which is like saying soldiers must go into battle unarmoured for fear their bullet-proof vests get damaged?

Is it yet one more example of crass, government incompetence, false priorities, and an ingrained political horror of admitting error?
Is it even worse? Are expensive to care-for, small-c conservative values, Trump/Brexit/Climate skeptic old folk subject to casual euthanasia?

That last would truly be a horrible thought, but until someone in charge tells us WHY they allowed this carnage, one struggles fully to suppress the suspicion. Meanwhile, they might show a graph like this, reassuring every one else that the risks they run are minimal, indeed.

I nearly deleted this as being a suspicion too far. Today we get #NiallFerguson, the Court Annalist of #Davos, sniggering in the Times about just how salutary all these deaths have been.

It gets worse by the hour.
