“Is it blue side in or blue side out?”
For the first 4 months the UK & US govts told us we didn’t need to use face masks, despite of evidence to the contrary
Then they became mandatory but there’s been no public information about how to even wear a mask.

The govt - & media - spent months arguing whether we should wear #facemasks
Based on the science & the precautionary principle, face masks should have been introduced early as they reduce the spread of #COVID19
They were mandatory in 120 countries before UK & US introduced them

After 4 months of prevarication on masks, the UK & US shifted
Trump & Johnson were both photographed wearing a mask for the first time on the SAME DAY
Like delaying lockdown & testing, this is just one of many parallels btw UK & US #COVID19 strategy. Are these coincidental?

It wasn’t just actions & inactions that are mirrored in the UK & US
Death rates are too
#COVID19 death rates in UK & US follow the same trajectory as Sweden, a country that said from the start its #COVID strategy was #HerdImmunity
#Trump has admitted this is US strategy too.

It appears that the UK has also been attempting a #HerdImmunity ‘strategy’ just as Vallance & Halpern said at the start
The govt even briefed @Peston about this
Virtually every epidemiologist/virologist/expert will tell you that herd immunity is an “outcome”, never a “strategy”

In May, threat of legal challenge forced US & UK govts to reveal details of their contracts with #Palantir, the CIA-backed data firm, which has links w #CambridgeAnalytica
They revealed that Palantir ‘won’ contracts at the same time to run #COVID data stores for the NHS & HHS.
