There were 492 new coronavirus deaths in the UK ystdy?

Why isn’t this headline news?

Why aren’t the dead acknowledged?

We must “Give sorrow words. The grief that does not speak whispers o-er wrought heart & bids it break.”

#CovidMemorialDay = 1 January
bylinetimes.com/2020/09/04/cov…

@JeremyClarkson

Rather than reporting on the 492 Britons who died of #COVID19 ystdy (including a 13 year-old) or the 397 who died the day before or the hundreds who died in the days before that, the media are focussing on the important stories like @JeremyClarkson’s bum! #CovidMemorialDay 1/1/21

@piersmorgan

“It doesn’t matter if you’re left or right, a Leaver or Remainer, @piersmorgan or @Piers_Corbyn, we all need to take the time to grieve.”

Six months after the first Briton died of #COVID19 we held UK #CovidMemorialDay

1/1/21 is World Covid Memorial Day

“Stop the count!”

Trump supporters protesting democracy!

Even if authorities DID stop counting - which they won’t - Biden would win BECAUSE HE’S AHEAD!

But logic was never important to Trump & his supporters! #Elections2020

These are not “pro-democracy protesters demonstrating after an election irregularlity"

They’re anti-democracy protesters attempting to derail an election

Fortunately they’re not armed, but we know there militias across the US that Trump put on “standby”.

https://twitter.com/dandelionhustle/status/1324107414585692161/video/1

It’s outrageous that people working on the count require police protection to do their jobs

This footage from Arizona shows police inside a counting centre ready to respond as the crowd outside grows

Disrupting a count is a federal offence #Elections2020

“How they laughed at Hitler in 1923 when he marched on a Munich beer hall with his comedic moustache

Many were still laughing in 1932 when the Nazi Party became the biggest in Germany

But the blazing Reichstag & rule by decree in 1933 weren’t so funny anymore.”

Wow!

In the Netherlands, a train has run through the buffers in Spijkenisse, onto an artwork called Whale Tails.

The train driver was taken to hospital for a check-up.

@BorisJohnson

#BREAKING: England to enter second national lockdown for a month from Thursday 5th November

Hear the details from @BorisJohnson here. #CovidUK #Lockdown2 #lockdown #coronavirus #BreakingNews #BorisJohnson

This is terrifying!

#BorisJohnson says even if the NHS had DOUBLE the capacity it still wouldn’t be enough

The NHS has 150,000 beds & with the Nightgale Hospitals there is even greater capacity

Its biggest weakness isn't space, it's staff shortages.

The reality of “Yo-Yo” #lockdown has been known about since May👇

Govt scientists have modelled for 2nd, 3rd, 4th waves etc. but this modelling was not shared publicly by the secretive #JointBiosecurityCentre running the UK #COVID19 response.

"Once an autocrat gets into office, it is very hard to get them out. They will disregard term limits, they will purge the agencies that enforce accountability, they will rewrite the law so that they are no longer breaking it." @sarahkendzior

Across the US, far-right militias are preparing for the #USElection & for post-election civil unrest
